Hol up, the maneuver formerly known as Heimlich??

Was Heimlich canceled? First I’ve seen this.

Lemme go ahead and tell you what’s not hard to draw…

I mean especially with current tariffs, this is some serious bragging

Why is this flamebait being up voted?

So you can take his truck? I’ll never understand this genre.

Are these still considered insults in schools? Seems like capitalist pig or billionaire bitch would cut way deeper now.

Least they’re not wearing coward masks.

So. Did you ignore it?

My goodness. Never realized Europe had such a train problem!

Bastards!

The advantages never seem to end.

Anyone: These two people you’ve never met and likely never will enjoy each other’s company and want to make a public commitment to each other and stimulate the economy while doing so.

Dumbass: well I have some strong feelings about that!

I just can’t imagine the void one must have in their life to feel they have the energy to give a shit about this in a negative way.

Sure. But context matters right? I also wouldn’t correct someone if they said sontimeters instead of cenimeters, but if it was a specific conversation explicitly about how to say centimeters, I might chime in with an opinion and some historical facts right?

Language is not completely a democratic process. A 30:70 split on pronunciation doesn’t indicate that one version is going to fade into oblivion. Pronunciation can evolve but so can definition. The word “literally” no longer means what it used to mean in common vernacular. Not everyone should be expected to accept these majority trends though. Many of us still want “literally” to preserve its original definition for example.

They were trying to ask about gerrymandering. It’s a hot topic in American politics right now, but it’s something that has been used similarly in other places as well so it’s worth being familiar with.

I sorry if you like hard Gs better. When you invent a technology and acronym for it and publically write and announce how it’s pronounced, I promise I’ll respect that too.

I’m not sure what you mean. Are you some sort of cunning linguist?

No. It’s ambiguous, hence the confusion. Just today actually I had a German guy asking me about GHAR-EE-man-dering actually!

There is a whole famous book where words are spelled funny so that people understand how to pronounce them.

I dunno about that, but seems like a lot of people aren’t aware of the intended pronunciation.

You understand it actually is pronounced jif right?
