emmafriendly Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 This so not a serious discussion at all but how long did it take you all to learn how to spell "amatonormativity"? I realized today that I have been spelling it wrong this whole time (ever since it was coined in 2016 by Elizabeth Brake) and my world is shook. I have written whole long posts about it, tagged countless posts, mentioned it so many times, and no one told me. I have educated clueless allos on it while SAYING and SPELLING it wrong. I can't believe my own clownery. I've somehow been spelling it amantonormativity, with an N, this whole time. How did I convince myself this was right?? I was so confident too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jot-Aro Kujo Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Not very long tbh..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 For me it's not so much that I used a wrong spelling, but the word has a lot of vowels and shapes my eyes didn't like so I had to keep looking at the word real close to make sure I typed right or didn't misremember for a while. Once my brain adapted though it hasn't given me trouble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done stuff like that so many times. My brain doesn't like tiny visual details so I often misspell words. It's okay though. It's a long awkward word with wayyyy too many syllables. Very easy to misspell. At least you didn't do the whole your/you're & their/there thing. Edited August 5, 2020 by Planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmbo Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 It took me a long time to even learn the word. What helped was just thinking about it as two separate words amato normativity. Otherwise it's way too long. And I say that as a Swede ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Like @Holmbo, I split it in two words to learn it. And even like that, I was often looking at how people spell it to make no mistake. Long words are hard to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
