Through is easy.
I passed through the cafeteria on my way to class.
I find that other word for exhaustive or complete very difficult.
I often just avoid the darn word.
Jack completely cleaned his house.
Jack throughly cleaned his house.
.
No! that’s wrong.
Jack thoroughly cleaned his house.
I just despise that word. Does it give you fits too?
I hear it mispronounced thru-o when it’s more like ther-o.
Why is English so sadistic?
I have no problems with* thoroughly*.
No problems at all. They’re pronounced differently, so spelt differently. What’s the problem?
I guess it’s just me then.
I don’t use thorough in a written sentence, enough to remember it’s spelled different from through.
It’s confusing for some.
You can succeed through thorough tough thought, though.
You’re gonna throw the baby out with the bathwater?
No. Never. I’ve never seen anyone have that problem, either, unless it’s a typo.
I have gotten other words mixed up sometimes, though now I can’t bring any to mind, and also though I am a good speller I still make a few consistent mistakes (“sherrif”). For that reason I am largely forgiving about most spelling errors I see.
Except for “loose” and “lose”.
No. The one with the extra syllable has he extra vowel.
I don’t have a problem differentiating the spelling, per se. It’s the typing that gives me trouble, because my damn fingers will go on neurological auto-complete and type the word I use more often (“through”) rather than the word my higher cognitive functions are thinking (“thorough”).
I usually catch it immediately and berate my treacherous hands while correcting it, but it’s still a bit of backspacing and very careful letter-by-letter spelling to get it right.
Yes, because everyone has switched to thru!
and then it becomes “Threw”
No problems with thorough but my fingers are convinced that Michigan has a major metropolitan district named “Detriot”
I used to work in Washingotn, DC.
I know automatically the difference between them but I have to take a bit of care when typing “thorough”. My fingers want to type “through”, probably because I use it more. Also, I swear that every time–without fail–I type “withing” for “within”. Muscle memory can be a little scamp sometimes.
