املای نانوشته غلط ندارد

Persian

FWOTD – 29 April 2019

Literally, “an unwritten dictation has no errors”.

املا ی نانوشته غلط ندارد • (emlâ-ye nâ-nevešte ğalat nadârad)

if there are no mistakes, it's probably because no action has been taken; or, when judging a person's mistakes, one should consider the how much they accomplished; such is life, you've got to crack a few eggs to make an omelette
