Placement matters: "trying to literally rewrite history"; not "literally trying to rewrite history".
There's a figurative "rewriting history" which someone can actually attempt. There's no figurative "trying" to make literal.

#English #spelling still manages to surprise me all the time. Especially with choosing “c” or “s” or “z”¹ in places for the basically same pronunciation (similarly with “ou” vs “u” (or “o”) and “e” vs “i”).
Trying to correct the spelling regularly gets me more confused ;-)

¹ok…

Fun fact: in #Polish, all cardinal directions have the same names as times of day. East is "wschód" which means "rise" (as in sunrise, "wschód słońca"), west is "zachód" — "set" (as in sunset, "zachód słońca"). North is "północ", lit. "midnight", and south is "południe", lit. "midday".
Apparently, the #English etymology is not so clear. "West" and "east" seem to unrecognizably stem from the words for evening and dawn. "South" seem to be related to "sun", whereas "north" to "to the left of the rising sun".

Translating 🇩🇪 to #English will most of the time end up with shorter text because English just has so many short words. Like "die" or "lie" or... hm... weird... why isn't English making better use of their 3-letter words for verbs? There's a whole cosmos of unused opportunities there! I think you (the royal "400 million" of you) should seize them! Here's …

I feel like people have forgotten what "analog" means. They're living in an analog — digital dichotomy, where everything that's electrical is "digital", and everything else is "analog", entirely ignoring the whole lot of analog electronic devices, or rather dumping them all in the category of "digital".
Perhaps we're lacking a good term for all the non-electrical devices.
