Weather vs Whether


It’s sexy to know the difference.


So, a lot of people mess up weather vs whether. I actually had one writer who just spelled the word consistently wrong as a totally made up word wether.


Anyway these bad boys are homophones which means they sound the same aloud, but they have different meanings and different spellings.


WEATHER – This is a noun or a verb. It can be what it’s like outside (hot, rainy, stormy, sunny_ or it can mean that you’re a bad ass and you’ve withstood some crap.


You have weathered the zombie apocalypse with nary a scratch.


Whoo, the weather today is amazing. It’s legit snowing glitter fairies.


WHETHER is no noun. It is no verb. This bad boy is a conjunction and it basically is the same thing as saying if. It connects choices in a sentences.


Yo, I plan to have a Bigfoot love affair whether or not he’s real.


Whether you think it is or not, I am so in love with how cool your rainbow farts are.


And there you go.


WETHER never works.
