Thank Celestia I learned that before I wrote my stories. I would've been in a hell of trouble.

You sure it’s spelled as Apple Bloom and not as Applebloom ????

Yes. Apple Bloom's actual name is 'Apple Blossom'. They are separate words. You don't spell your first and second name out without a space, do you? It makes no sense, and looks terrible. On top of that...it's common sense! Example: Pinkie Pie isn't Pinkiepie and Sweetie Belle isn't Sweetiebelle! It's the same problem!

This spelling error comes from an early episode of the show where her name is spelled as one word in the credits (despite the fact in all other media it's clearly two). The error then repeats itself in Equestria Games, Rainbow Rocks, and Bloom and Gloom.

An interesting example of this happening the other way round is the tendancy of people to write of 'Star Swirl', despite the fact his name is written as one word in the credits and closed captions of Shadow Play. When a user asked me why I write his name as one word, I pointed this out, and then stated I do this for the same reason we don't write 'Mist Mane', or 'Rock Hoof', or even 'Somna Mbula'.

However, it also applies the other way round; 'Flash Magnus', not 'Flashmagnus'.

Please, we all know it's spelled Apphulbloughm

*Wave fist around in air* Haaaasbroooo!

I knew they started this war, it was all a ploy in their plan so that we'd be distracted enough that we wouldn't notice that Skynet took over our systems and they used our own weapons against us and... Sorry, bit off track here...

It always sounds like it's a simple spelling error, doesn't it? It annoys me to look at almost as much as looking at people using terrible, wrong grammar for words like, ''Dreamed'' as ''Dreamt'' or ''Dropped'' as ''Droppt'' or ''Laughed'' as ''Laught''. The inner grammar Nazi in me and the side of my brain wired to my days of passionate literature physically hurt when I find these spelling abominations.

A personal favourite moment comes from the internet series Bad Creepypasta, when this happens in the episode Lockdown;

Jacob Sherwood: But it couldn't of [pause]- COULDN'T HAVE!You retard!

Literally EVERYONE pronounces it like that around here, and it's because of our accents. It's ''Could've'', but they get really sharp with their pronunciation and it comes out as ''Could of''. After hearing it for so long growing up, we all used to end up writing it as ''could of'' instead of how it should be. It's ''Could have'' or ''Could've'', not ''Could of''. Adults still make this mistake. It hurts my brain fiercely.

'Could of' is, as far as I'm aware, a US import.

I don't get the idea of alternate grammar per country. It makes even LESS sense than before. Grammar is the same no matter where you are; it's a basically a fact, but it changes because everybody has their own argument over ''what is and isn't right''. It got so ridiculous, I doubt there's much use for a dictionary or thesaurus anymore. In the future, they'll be a forgotten relic. Probably become a myth told over camp fires or something.

How can ONE error define an entire vocabulary and literary rule?! It's quite concerning, actually.

Funny you should mention that. My dad had a mate from Durham, and he pronounced balcony weirdly, as in the Balkans!

Communication would be so much easier if pronunciation was standardised...

Nope, just having fun with the English Language.

And not to sidetrack too much, but I saw you remark about "dreamt."

Dreamt and dreamed are both past tense forms of dream. Dreamt is more common in Britain, while dreamed is more common in other English-speaking countries, including the U.S.. Dreamed seems to be more popular than dreamt when talking about sleeping, but when dream has a hopeful, literary sense, dreamt might be used.

And fun fact! Dialects are a thing in every single language, and play a huge part in how languages develop and split. I mean, just look at what happened to Latin!

Si suus 'Latinam velis, mi Amethyst ergo quid est hoc tuum navi innatant? Literacy est non adesse. Quod, sicut supra dictum est Kurt Cobain sua in vidulo Skid Row anni, '' Illiteracy praevalebit, xlii '. Cum eo, frater carissime, quam ego loquor ad te de chekmate. Ita dico vobis, forti viventem in caelum?

If it's the language you wish, my Diamond, then how is this your boat float? Literacy is not present. As we have said before Kurt Cobain packed in the Skid Row year, '' Illiteracy stronger Isa. I was with Him, my dear brother, that I shall speak unto thee out of the checkmate. I tell you, a mighty creature in the sky?

... what?

...What translator are you using, man? A Latin-to-Drunk Translator? That isn't what I wrote says, even vaguely. It says something different.

[Amethyst_Dawn]

Google Translate, unfortunately the only translation software I have access to.

If it's the language you wish, my Diamond, then how is this your boat float? Literacy is not present. As we have said before Kurt Cobain packed in the Skid Row year, '' Illiteracy stronger Isa. I was with Him, my dear brother, that I shall speak unto thee out of the checkmate. I tell you, a mighty creature in the sky?

It was supposed to translate to this (if my memory is correct, I didn't save a copy)...

If it's language you want, my darling, then how does this float your boat? Literacy doesn't exist anymore. As Kurt Cobain wrote on his suit case during his Skid Row years, ''Illiteracy will prevail''. It was him, my dear brother, who spoke unto thee the words of truth, to which I give a stalemate. He was right.

That's not even correct still, but you get the idea. Good grammar and literary skills are getting harder to come buy because of all this kack flying around and confusing the rest of us, including the ones who have their heads on straight. It's an infection that won't ever have anti-bodies to fight off.
