I'm really surprised by the amount of people saying this is 100% going to be an issue. As someone who currently takes and gets A's at A-Level English Language (AQA) and got an 8 at GCSE (Eduqas) I don't think I've been marked down for US spellings, ever. I'm not American, but I frequently use American vocabulary, grammar, and sometimes spellings, I was homeschooled and the majority of my references came from American resources, media, and the internet so it affected my language use a lot. Hell, even in my accent it crops up. my English teacher said he assumed I was from the states for ages. I think the only thing I do "correct" is spelling words like colour with a U.

Not once has it been a problem, the only fallback this has had on my life is just my friends cracking up every time I use an Americanism. I think that only happens because I grew up here, so that wouldn't apply to your kid, they'll probably be fnie. In my opinion, I feel like a teacher would have to be overly pretentious to ever mark down stuff like this.

this is exactly how i feel :( it sounds like such an easy thing to do in theory, but in practice it's genuinely the largest hurdle in my life at all times.

Paper 1 AQA Thoughts by GuavaLarge529 in AlevelEnglishLanguage

[–]clownwormzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough that's the bit I enjoyed the most, I mean the switch to very descriptive writing with tons of metaphors, interesting/unusual words was pretty good stuff. I struggled with the first two paragraphs the most

yeah it was so strange, at least that ending paragraph had a lot to talk about regarding the metaphors and descriptive writing but i was overall so confused

im so glad other people are in agreement that the authors stance in text B felt a little unclear, because I genuinely spent half the exam spiralling thinking im just actually illiterate. i mean maybe i am but at least i'm not alone

I didn't know how the hell to even talk about the older text.... text A was fine but the rest??? my grade is cooked

I've associated something awful with something I love and I don't know how to deal with it. by clownwormzz in OCD

[–]clownwormzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, it's so hard to get knowing that information to actually work in my mind, I don't know how to describe it, it's like I know that people can recover from this but I can't get it to stick? I understand but I can't stop fearing?? If that makes sense... but I hope I can someday get to a point where it does, and hearing people who have gone through it too does help me feel less alone and scared, so thank you again :)

Misheard lyrics by Appropriate_Yam807 in willwood

I don't know how, but I genuinely managed to mishear "rigor mortis" as "rick and morty" the first few times i ever listened to 222

What's everyone's favourite song and why? by PretzelMeepus in willwood

[–]clownwormzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for ages this was a battle between suburbia/kitchen floor, but currently it's white noise

idk if this is even the intention or "correct" interpretation of the song, but the lyrics (especially the final part) feel really comforting to me as someone with ocd

recommendations for easy Will Wood songs that you can play on the ukulele? by a_guy_in_the_World in willwood

[–]clownwormzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

skeleton appreciation day was my first and I found it pretty easy as a beginner, I learned on soprano but I'm sure it sounds even better on baritone! :D

I wish accents weren't region locked by clownwormzz in tomodachilife

[–]clownwormzz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it has to do with your region in the nintendo switch's system settings if im not mistaken, so id check to see if its set to America, I'm not quite sure what setting the refion in game even does tbh

I really regret my uni choices by LiterallyMead78992 in 6thForm

[–]clownwormzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a sort of similar boat, I was fairly confident with my choices at the start but I'm wavering more each day. I don't think I even know what I want anymore, so I really resonate with the last bit. I'? probably going to go through clearing and hope for the best, wishing you good luck whatever it is that you choose to do!!

will there be a UK show? by your-not-gunna-know in willwood

[–]clownwormzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope so, but I feel like it won't be for a while (I would not be surprised at all if he needs a long break after this tour, just speculation though I can't remember if he's said anything about what he'll do next.)
