My entire life I have known speach to mean the verb that describes the act of speaking in the present tense, while speech to be the verb that is the past tense act of speaking professionally/publicly to a group.

According to google :The correct spelling is speech. “Speach” is an outdated spelling from hundreds of years ago and is now considered a spelling mistake.

    People are getting much more dumber, though, so if you starts using it more people might will does it too.

    The irony of the sentiment of this comment against the flickering light of the dumpster fire that is its grammar is not lost on me.

      Oooh, a person who considers the possibility someone is making a joke before grabbing the pitchfork and torch? You’re like an internet unicorn.

        If I thought it was an intentional joke, it wouldn’t have been ironic.

          Also, whoever decided to spend a lot of time running through pages of my comment history down voting everything should seek psychiatric help.

          No, you may not have felt it was ironic but intentional irony is definitely a thing, and my comment is an example of that thing. You’re just one of the many people on the internet who adores feeling smug and superior, imagining yourself to be so very wise and brilliant. You’re not, that’s just over-inflated ego.

          You actually took the time to advertise your own complete obliviousness and lack of basic common sense. Fantastic. I made you a new user image.
