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:

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!

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

Sorry I didn’t go into depth because I didn’t want this to be super serious.
In most cases, people are talking about one piece of gear complementing another piece of gear. Numerous examples:

But feel free to compliment people as well.
Edit: I should have called it the “diction guide” instead of spelling guide. Which is slightly ironic.
