My entire life I have known speach to mean the verb that describes the act of speaking in the present tense, while speech to be the verb that is the past tense act of speaking professionally/publicly to a group.

According to google :The correct spelling is speech. "Speach" is an outdated spelling from hundreds of years ago and is now considered a spelling mistake.

is speech (or speach i guess) ever a verb? its a noun describing the talking. you don't speech, you speak.

"slow speech" "give a speech" "her speech" "speech writer" "speech class"

vs

"speak with an accent" "speaking of the mandella effect" "i love to listen to you speak"

i feel like youre getting ”speech” and ”speak" confused here...
