complement, not compliment
bass, not base
I’ve been seeing that first one a lot recently. I understand there’re a lot of non-native speakers so just friendly FYI if you care, regarding commonly misused words in the audio realm.
Feel free to add or ignore. I kinda feel gross being “that guy.”

But what if I’m giving a compliment to Ace of Base?

Someone has to enforce law and order.
Let me advertise the little guide to the features of this forum while at it:
As I could not find any thread on here with these, I thought I would write one.
Why? Because I am somewhat familiar with the forum software (Discourse) because the <a href="https://forum.level1techs.com/">L1T Forum</a> uses the same software.
And because it was missing.

Lol, I’m good with that. But my question then is what complements Ace of Base?
Your guide is much more useful.

I have only made that error 11 times it seems, so I guess spellcheck has only failed me 11 times
I just go with whatever it ends up suggesting that looks right enough lol

Haha, I figure spellcheck is often the culprit. When I was checking for other spelling related posts, I found yours:
Someone just pointed out that I have been saying “spacial” instead of “spatial” because it gets auto-corrected for some reason. And I mention spatial accuracy a fair bit. I sincerely apologize for any confusion I may have caused in the process of being unable to spell and letting auto-correct take the wheel

Autocorrect is the root of all evil.
But it does make my posts mostly readable.
Anybody else have a problem with autocorrect changing “on” to “in” and “of” to “if”? Or am I the only one cursed with this? Autocorrect is supposed to change misspellings to the words you most commonly use. But why does it have to change such common words as “on” and “of”? Irritating.

How about piqued interest (not “peaked”?). And yokes, not “yolks”. In most instances at least.
Autocorrect can help, but can also turn posts into literary experimentalism!

I’m guilty of using that. Especially on my phone.
But in my defense, these are my daily drivers:

Well, you’re the outlier I gave room for when I said “most instances.” Clearly!
Great response, btw!

Complement and compliment are two different words, with different meanings. In your example, you used it correctly.
