Пишуть, що цей телепень робить помилку щодо одного, потім — щодо іншого, а трохи пізніше — щодо ще чогось. Складається відчуття, що він тільки те і вчиняє, що припускається помилок. А воно так і є, бо колись природа зробила страшну помилку, а тепер він їй мститься за неї, бо життя нестерпне і навкруги одна сволота, яка, замість того аби запроторити його куди треба, постійно каже, що він хибить та оступається

"After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

These moments when you have to unlearn mistakes! 😱

#zines are 'zeens' not 'zu-eens' 🤯 Why the hell did I get this wrong since the 1970s in Germany, when people talked about 'zains'?!? (Modern German: do you say 'siens'?)

Do you know such moments discovering a very old #mistake in #spelling? How do you unlearn persistent errors?

I'll never forget my French "village". A friend corrects me every time and I have to repeat it 10x. Meanwhile I say it correctly. 🤭

A quotation from Horace

Dear sire, and offspring worthy of your fire!
We bards are dupes to what ourselves admire.
Would I be brief — I grow confused and coarse;
Who aims at smoothness, fails in fire and force;
In him who soars aloft, bombast is found;
Who fears to face the tempest, crawls aground.
Who courts variety and fain would ring
A thousand changes on the self-same string,
Will paint, as ’twere in fancy’s wildest mood
Boars in the wave and dolphins in the wood.
Thus even error, shun’d without address,
Breeds error, diff’rent in its kind, not less.

[Maxima pars vatum, pater et iuvenes patre digni,
decipimur specie recti: brevis esse laboro,
obscurus fio; sectantem levia nervi
deficiunt animique; professus grandia turget;
serpit humi tutus nimium timidusque procellae:
qui variare cupit rem prodigialiter unam,
delphinum silvis adpingit, fluctibus aprum:
in vitium ducit culpae fuga, si caret arte.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 24ff (2.3.24-31) (19 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]
