Love living in a queer household

As V was going upstairs for their shower today, they said to me "oh, there's a letter in your LARP name here." Like it's a really normal thing to say.

(I can't remember if I explained here, but I call it a LARPname instead of a deadname because it's not dead, it's limited to certain...roles that I sometimes have to play in live-action.)

Linguistics mysteries

Yknow, Microsoft Word, I actually agree with you that ‹neighbourhoods› is misspelled -- based on the mistaken assumption that any English word ending ‹-or› must be an Americanism, therefore necessitating ‹-our› in the UK, leading to the nonsensical frenchification of this perfectly good Germanic word (cf. Nachbar)...

...but why do I get the wiggly red line under it?! I've double-checked and all the settings are UK English and no other words (like "recognise") are getting the wiggly red line!
