    this is dumb af every time i see it

    there is zero guarantee its because you learned the word by reading. and i would argue most of the time it is not bc you learned it by reading. theres a lot of dumb ppl in the world saying shit wrong bc they heard another dumb shit say it that way

      Sure, but I think I’d rather assume the best out of folks first then let them prove me wrong vs walk around with even more negativity as my default. 🤷‍♂️

        and why would them pronouncing a word wrong bc they read it vs heard it be “the best from folks”? how is hearing a word for the first time and it being mispronounced worse than reading it and mispronouncing the word?

        its just dumb all around, and what youre saying is elitist given that there are illiterate people in this world. which is extra negativity you must be walking around with hating on the illiterate like that
