Conquering the Californian Conundrum: How NOT to Spell "San Francisco" (and Maybe How To)
Ah, San Francisco. City of fog, cable cars, and apparently, a collective struggle with spelling. You'd think for a place that's been around since the 1700s, we'd have this one ironed out by now, wouldn't you? Wrong.
Let's face it, there's a certain je ne sais quoi about that name that trips up even the most seasoned typists. Is it a "c" or an "s" after the "i"? Does the "n" sneak in an extra buddy before the "c" like some kind of spelling bee ambush? Fear not, fellow travelers, for I, your friendly neighborhood word nerd, am here to navigate this lexical labyrinth.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
