I teach beginning readers, and the best guess I have is, they're sight words (high frequency words that don't follow phonetic rules - you just have to recognize them on sight).

That being said, I don't know what good just having these words around will do. Sure, you have to be able to recognize them, but there's no context if they're just randomly on stairs.

It can be both.

My husband and I met through an online forum, and were friends for a long time before we decided to try a romantic relationship.

I think it's a fallacy to assume "online" only means dating sites these days. Many people's social lives are online, so that's where they meet friends and partners

My husband had the worst sciatica, and this book helped him so much

What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Hot Fuzz is what I came here to suggest - it's the best ACWATNOBI (A Cop With A Theory No One Believes In) spoof/film ever.

I also think Cabin in the Woods did a great job balancing spoof (or at least meta) with actual horror.
