You just included yourself. Props on the self-burn.
lol…yeah…thats the sort Im talking about. Fact is it IS called a clip on some types of guns anyway…and it makes gun owners look like argumentative…well, I’ll leave out the rest of that sentence so i dont get another dismissal. lol.
I dont expect everyone to use the correct term for every little piddlin thing in life. lol
Funny part is those sorts probably do enough of that same kind of thing when they are out of their element and would likely not like being corrected every time it happens.
Its words. Language. the idea is to convey ones thoughts. As long as that is successful, its all good.

If you include yourself in a conversation, you cannot exclude yourself.
Sorry, Miriam, but I can.
The one made when they get annoyed by either of those.
And people know Your and You’re, but it’s the internet and we’re typing fast most of the time. The people that unironically don’t know it is probably a lot smaller than you realize.
I’m not spell/grammar checking my internet posts on a video game forum or writing papers.
I grew up with Western RPGs and without having been told pronunciations of things… I would call Paladins. Pa LAD ins. Got roasted for it by my friends for a while.
Too late, you’ve included yourself. By your logic it’s not what you think that matters, after all, but what I think. Welcome to the party, glad to see you’ve already grabbed a name tag.
I’m good at parsing out pronunciations based on spelling. One day I had to call a client for the marketing research company I worked for. His name was clearly Chinese to look at it. When I reached him, I asked, “Is this [my best guess]?” He was actually amazed.
Last week my housemate was watching anime, as usual. He prefers the subtitled version. This time something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on what it was. I sat down at my computer and asked him why he was watching anime in Chinese. Like, “Oh”.

I would ask him why he’s watching anime in the first place

It’s what he does now that he no longer plays wow. Single player games and anime.
this is normal in british english. silent letters are for the (shiver) french, we say, while completely ignoring the unexpected presence of a mystery ‘u’ in colour, armour, honour etc…
My pet peeves are a) “rouge” instead of rogue; b) anybody who types tounge instead of tongue and c) that one southern US friend of mine who, after i did some small favour for them, replied “mercy boocoo”.
“… What?”
“Mercy boocoo? Oh lol it’s just a thing we say in the south.”
Me with a sense of dawning horror: … you mean merci beaucoup, french for “thanks a lot?”
GD it’s been years I’m still not recovered

Garthstone, in case people are wondering.
OMG, there’s this one guy who cannot pronounce Edinburgh or Dublin. It’s always Eden-berg and Doo-blin. Doesn’t matter how many times it’s pointed out.
Some anime is good. It’s like how, much as I hate to admit it, some-- ugh, this is hard to type-- some country music is good.
Just threw up in my mouth a little.
