… You were supposed to the whole time …
Nothing ever mattered? D:
My wife and I have been on board for decades :)
Next you’ll be telling me I should pronounce the L in island as well!
i-sand… is-and… isund? iand? Ok, I give up, how are you supposed to pronounce it without the L?
Now that is the real question.
etymologically the word is made up of “i” and “land”, the “s” was added by some idiot in the 15th century. “i” is cognate with “ö” in swedish which simply means “island”, so just pull a power move and drop all the other letters completely.
You mean the s?
I mean the L. Like in salmon.
You actually pronounce the L in salmon?
Edit…the word actually. But also…my bad.
What if I told you nothing is real
How the fuck am I supposed to eat soup with all of these bent-ass spoons?!
Did you mean bent ass-spoons?
Then you wouldn’t really be saying anything.
fun fact: the S in island is completely fucking made up, the original spelling was “iland” with “i” being cognate with “ö” in swedish. It basically means island land and the only reason why there’s an S in there is because some shithead thought it was related to the french word “isle” and felt that INCORRECT idea warranted changing the spelling.
Yep. It is indeed. Same with the K in knight, which was added for no fucking reason. Sweden also has an island called Öland which means island land.
Oh sugar, I already do
Just try to pronounce laugh as it’s spelt. I dare you.
Salmon is a type of ghoti.
okay I did it. It’s pointless to write out what I said. But you get it.
Laowguh-hhhh
🪵-h
I always pronounce the H in Meghan and the TH in Thailand in my head.
Herb.
Phone.
Come at me Pronouncation nerds.
salman rushdie
lol yes! Someone who has actually watched Frisky Dingo!
Oh fine, let’s just start pronouncing “recognize” as though there were actually a “G” in it then!! I mean where does the madness stop!!
Or the t in exactly.
Actually that sort of annoys me…
From now on I’ll pronounce Worcester as whore Chester.
Leave Chester alone, he’s just misunderstood!
🔫 always has been 🔫
