    And as soon as the young spelling pro gets “eye”, throw “ewe” at them.

      Ewe, though it’s spelled weird, does at least fit its context. When looking into specific gendered terms for species, someone could expect a few weird ones.

      On a side note, I find it funny how the word ewe is banned from several places because all it’s ever used for is to replace the “you” in things like an F-bomb. It’s like an accidental/indirect swear word.

      “Hey bro, what’s a female sheep called?”

      “Oh that’s easy, it’s ew–” ban hammer crashes down out of nowhere
