    I know it’s classist to be critical of these things but I would like to stab people in the eye if they prounouce pedestal like “petal stool.”

      Thank you for the standard psychopath answer. 100% You made it!

      “Well, I can’t correct spelling without mentioning stabbing someone in the eye, and that’s totally normal. Oh, and I have to point out that I’m being ‘classist’ for no reason at all. It really ties the nutjob statement together.”

        What OP really meant was that they were having a stroke. What you meant was that you communicate through your butthole. Because you just spew bullshit.

        “That guy over there meant this, Because I Said So!”

        People didn’t shut up when writing was invented, and they sure as fuck haven’t shut up with the invention of the telephone, computer, or interwebbing.

        You sure haven’t shut it. I sure haven’t either.

      I’m pretty sure OP means people don’t talk out loud as often. On average, people have been speaking 338 words per day fewer for each consecutive year since 2005 (source)

      We used to say “You’re a dumb fuck that can’t spell”. Now we insult their “spelling checker”?

      Spelling checker? Who the fuck says “spelling checker”?

    This happened to Arthur, Prince of Wales and Catherine of Aragon. They both had studied Latin, so they could communicate over letters. But their pronunciation was so different they couldn’t speak to each other.

    the couple soon discovered that they had mastered different pronunciations of Latin and so were unable to easily communicate.[40]
