Also hot take but making fun of and mocking people for not knowing the Correct Pronunciation of something --- regardless of how "easy" it should be, or what language it's from/commonly used in, or if it 'follows the rules', etc. --- is uhhhh shitty!

#imo it's dicey to even do it as a lighthearted joke if it's not a specific person you have a specific relationship with #but so many people get genuinely condescending and shit about it and like. y'all are jerks :)#and to be clear I'm not talking about situations where someone is just being fucking racist and refusing to actually try to pronounce #someone's name right #im talking about honest and innocent not knowing how something is pronounced/not realizing they're saying it wrong/etc
