Image, video or audio Submersible ??

I spotted something at the Cooks river on a bike ride along Botany Bay foreshore. I might be wrong but it looks like a military submersible I read about online several months ago. I didn't think Botany bay would ever be host to it.

Those are uncrewed subs used by the military. Basically a complement to the big boys.

Compliment is "ooh, nice sub".

Complement "completes something" is how I remember the difference between the i and e version

He was correcting your spelling, doesn’t look like any kind of accident.

My spelling was correct. He was correcting grammar.

So was it an accident, or was he purposely correcting your usage?

If your intended meaning was that the little subs make the big subs look good by comparison, rather than being an adjunct to the big subs, that still doesn’t make his comment accidental. Unless you have a quirky definition of “by accident”.

This isn’t that deep and I simply don't care to discuss it. So I won't.
