Krass is German.

That doesn’t change that the English spelling is crass.

Also, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/crass says crass made its way from Latin via French to English, not German. Always with a C, btw.

c not as fun as k. no one cares. spelling is for comand line. The rest is jazz. Talking by the numbers is for the coffin-hearted.

If spelling doesn't matter, why then are all your other words properly spelled in their English form.

And you used proper capitalization and spaces.

Don't be disingenuous.

I am a fully genuine fiction writer. I am fully candid about the neccesity of fun.

Language is a conductive medium that behaves bizzarely depending on environmental conditions.

Spelling matters for comandline, translation.

My tongue nor typewriter are region-locked. They are drunken and given to singing.

No need to mind. :3 Fortunately plants look great in bauhaus.

Perhaps what sets me apart from some first language english speakers is that I don't necessarily treat it as superior in value to other languages, even dowm to the phonym. I just want to create and communicate.
