Since Were On The Topic On Grammar And Stuff, Lets Talk About How The Word Actually Is Used In This Haiku!

Since we’re on the topic on grammar and stuff, let’s talk about how the word “actually” is used in this haiku! (Yes I know this is still kinda off topic but let me ramble for a bit :))

This haiku would only work if it was spoken and actually was pronounced ACK-shull-ee, which is commonly used by many English speakers. However, in writing (and in spoken language for many), it is pronounced ACK-shoo-all-ee. This has four syllables instead of three, therefore making that poem not a Haiku.

My theory is that the world actually originated being pronounced with four syllables, and over time, two of those syllables got mushed together, creating “ACK-shwall-ee.” This morphed into “ACK-shull-ee” because English speakers are lazy. (See: “I will see you soon” turning into “see ya soon.”)

Anyway, this Haiku isn’t technically wrong, but it’s more stylized! (Like when poets use “o’er” to make “over” only one syllable.)

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly
