i understand the historical reasons why English is the most common language
but if I was writing a speculative fiction novel
and I said “the language that most people learn as a second language, usually for professional reasons, is also the only one with a spelling system so terrible that spelling words correctly is a broadcasted competition”

i never thought of this, do other languages not have spelling bees?
both narrate in media res, regularly break the fourth wall and survive things that they had no right surviving. Ferris Bueller is also in the family tree.
“real life doesnt have trigger warnings” imagine supermarkets taking all of the allergy warnings off of all of the foods and then being like “sorry sweetie, welcome to the real world (:” when everyone started going into anaphylactic shock
Or movies stop having previews or ratings and 5 year olds are crying in Quentin Tarantino movies and their parents are saying “time to grow up (:”
