  I’m more embarrassed about my calculator history. I use SpeedCrunch because it’s amazing, but boy does it remind me hos stupid I am. 7+14, really?

  If you use DuckDuckGo, just type !wt wordyouwant. This takes you to the English Wiktionary entry, where Wiktionary is a (really rich and underappreciated) sister project to Wikipedia that acts as an every-language-to-English dictionary (or e.g. an every-language-to-French dictionary in the case of fr.wiktionary.org, etc.)

    A reminder to fellow Kagi users - you can do the same! (all DDG bangs are supported, but you probably knew that already)

    I use define:. Yesterday a friend asked me whether “stably” had an “e” in it and this was very helpful in answering.

    I use it often to look up the etymology of words.

    if you have krunner installed, you can also look for the definition by typing define wordyouwant

  Is it ironic that while reading this post I noticed that rule 5 spells “incite” wrong?

  Title needs a word that doesn’t fit:

  “Sorry to austere you”

  And porn. But yes, I do this a lot too and can absolutely relate.

    porn noun /pɔːn/ /pɔːrn/ [uncountable] (informal, disapproving)

    ​pornography (= magazines, DVDs, websites, etc. that describe or show naked people and sexual acts in order to make people feel sexually excited, especially in a way that many other people find offensive)

    I swear it’s only because I keep forgetting if step-sister has a hyphen in or not.

    So I can get accurate results when I type it in pornhub.

    (I actually just googled step-sister because I genuinely didn’t know if it has a hyphen. Apparently it is commonly written with and without the hyphen)

  know what’s extra hard? those common words that are like a verb + a preposition like “find out”. i convince myself that the preposition i’m thinking of is wrong

  Search engines are better at figuring out my misspellings than the android keyboard. Lots of random misspelled words in my search history.

  A lot of synonyms for me.

  The amount of times I have to search how to spell "reccomending" is sad (for me)

    Which reminds me how "commit" is right but "ammend" is wrong. I hate it.

  Honestly, this has almost become a compulsive thing when reading. Nonstop looking up words.

  @ickplant So close to a perfect joke. One small tweak:

  When I die and y'all go through my search history, you'll be disappointed to find mostly just definitions for very common words that I wasn't sure I was using cacophony.
