Why do English speakers waste so much time on these pronunciation quibbles? English must be a uniquely stupid language.

No hay nada mejor que las lenguas romances. 👏🏼

Est-ce que le français une langue romance?

Si oui, it's a romance language with crazy pronunciation 😃

All the native languages of Latin are. The Frenchman - woman is in love jaja

you need another humble language I guess

oof, they got nothing more intellegent to converse about

Lots of different accents in English, it seems to me. But yes, people argue the toss over nothing, especially online

Development of English language occurred in a decentralized setting. Explorers will always have new words to absorb and it happens without rules. Thankfully. It is charming to me.

It’s definitely a ridiculous language, but I’m a linguist and a pendant so I’m probably the problem 😅

I’m terrible at English (1st and only language). I genuinely don’t know how to say these made up things.

Accent and pronunciation issues have always been an obstacle for learners of English, and I think it's not a serious issue, just as internet memes mocking British pronunciation are partly a result of human influence, It's overblown. My teachers used to emphasize the difference between "British" and "American" English and correct us on our Chinglish, but luckily, a lot of schools emphasize English but don't actually test students' speaking skills at all🤷‍♂️

Years ago you could find the word DOGE in countless dog-memes, and no one even considered that it wasn’t pronounced “DOH-gee”.

Let's talk about brazilian pronounciation 😅

Maybe try adding some accentuation into your vowels to make pronunciation less ambiguous?

Idk, English isn’t my native language anyway
