Okay, look. If it’s a narrow channel between two bodies of water, it’s a “strait.” No ‘g’, no ‘h’. It’s not the same spelling as the geometrical concept. #SubtootingSeeminglyEverybody

@Gorfram@beige.party Ah, proofreader here. I'm afraid you're bumping into an issue I deal with a lot. It's really two issues lumped together: A: People can be incredibly ignorant B: people also don't care about getting details right. See apostrophes, commas, all fucking punctuation in fact, what's the bloody point of any of it, was I the only one paying attention in school, you CRETINS?

@Gorfram@beige.party seems like you are in dire straits about this. Maybe missing a little bit of your sultan of swing.
