Today I was thinking about the plural of the word "bus" because I think too much 🤷

I was texting my brother & he told me how much he hated riding busses. So in our conversation we both used the spelling, "busses" & it made me wonder 🤔

I know it's not incorrect but nobody ever taught me the difference so I decided to Google the differences between "buses" & "busses" to see if they're supposed to be used in different instances or something.

I would've assumed if it was used as a verb, like "he busses it anywhere he needs to go", then it would be better to spell it the longer way. But surprisingly no 😮
It turns out that "buses" & "busses" could be used in any of the same instances whether being a noun or a verb. Although, the spelling "busses" has become so rare that many people immediately think it's wrong.

Sorry I'm an over thinker for sure 😂
That concludes our English lesson for the day 😌

For tonight's homework I want you all to curse the English language for having way too many unnecessary words 🙏

*Edited for grammar because how dare I write an English lesson with errors* 😂

Oh btw it's "grammar" not grammer 😝 How dare you make such a mistake in an English lesson 😆

@SW-User I didn't even catch that 😭 maybe I need autocorrect after all lol
@ChiefJustWalks damn, you don’t use autocorrect ? I could never. Lol my spelling is horrendous. You spell pretty well for not using autocorrect. Although, the autocorrect can be pretty annoying correcting words that are already spelled correctly and changing them to crazy shit 😑

@Stark I use it sometimes. It's on/off but lately it's been off 😂 the only reason is because I hate when it corrects me when I meant wtf I said 😤😂

@ChiefJustWalks It's okay, i dont use autocorrect either. That is why half the time you see my posts and replies are edited, for correction 😅

@SW-User dude same! 😂 I catch it right when I post it & I just HAVE to correct it lol
@ChiefJustWalks I misspell things on purpose just to annoy jaydee 🤭 he corrected one of my posts once and I refused to fix it.
