    fast moving segways

    Believe it or not, “segues.”

    I am reminded of the sheer optimism of a late-90s American search engine called Beaucoup, which assumed English speakers had any god-dang idea how to spell Beaucoup.

    Anyway, yeah, it takes some railroading to make kids sit through Hamlet.

      segues

      …In my defense, Segway is a real word that is a form of transportation, and I meant “move from one scene to the next”, I guess I just never questioned if there’s a different word.

      Edit: after some quick googling, the company did that on purpose. https://eu-en.segway.com/about-the-brand bastards. Lmao.

        Haitian Creole is always fun to see because the whole language is like that. It’s nearly French, but it’s spelled according to English spelling rules… unlike English.
