    Those responsible for these affronts to speech should be dealt with swiftly.

    I will never accept people who say "Tee-dus".

    He pronounced "Ty-dus" as "Tee-dus"

    I don't have a problem with people that have speech issues. I'd rather communicate with a person that has speech issues while having a good head on their shoulders than somebody that has perfect speech while coming across as a disgusting person to me.
    "I'm seeing it clearer/Hating the picture in the mirror/They claim we inferior/So why the f**k these devils fear ya?/I'm watching my nation die genocide the cause/Expect a blood bath/The aftermath is y'alls/I told ya last album, we need help cause we dying/Give us a chance, help us advance cause we trying/Ignore my whole plea, watching us in disgust/And then they beg when my guns bust/They don't give a f**k about us" 2pac ft.

    in general people complaining about speech and pronunciation makes me relive the bad parts of my immigration but i guess that's kind of moot compared to the immigration processes the west has these days

    that being said i agree with fynn

    If you're being a dick to someone from abroad because of accent or speech patterns there's no hope for you

    When I was at primary school, we learned about haiku poetry, and the teacher pronounced the word as "High-Queue", despite the fact that the book we were told to work from clearly stated that it was pronounced "Hai-Koo". Admittedly to a primary school kid, "Hai" could be up for debate, but it is obvious that "Koo" is not "Queue".

    I was the only one who pointed it out, and the teacher kept saying "High-Queue", as did the other students (because they knew it annoyed me). You'd have thought that the teacher would take into account what the book says, though.

    My father says sangwich instead of sandwich. It drives me up the wall.
