When you keep speaking wrong*, it indicates that you have no regard for being understood, and hence you don’t give a rat’s ass about a) your listeners and b) your language. Meaning you’re an insufferable twat.
A total of zero people are confused when someone says “supposably” instead of “supposedly.” All you think about is how you or someone else you know was corrected and made fun for speaking “wrong.”
Also, “correcting” peoples pronunciations has a deep-rooted history in oppressing minority groups, e.g. “ask” vs. “axe.” You’d know this if you weren’t full of so much hate and ignorance.
You’re not an English teacher, right? You’re not speaking to your kids, right? You’re just having regular conversations with people, right? If you want to beat rules into people who don’t speak like you do, you might actually be full of hate and ignorance and you’re probably racist, that is 100% correct.
I don’t think so. As a non native English speaker, I am happy when people help me to improve my English. So I totally would do the same for other people, I don’t think that makes me a racist but rather someone that cares about language as it allows me to better understand intention, such as racist ones.
Also it is a joke about how people of “higher” class speak in a weird way. The last panel is usually the “right” one.
It’s about context, my guy. As a non-native speaker, you’re probably not making the same English speaking “mistakes” as natives. If you’re correcting native speakers about English as a non-native, you’re probably going to be more often wrong than right, and since you don’t know societal context, that’s really bad too. You people have to stop dumbing shit down and ignoring all the context with everything.
You realize that I never said that I would correct people’s English, right? You realize that I have a mother tongue, right? Maybe you shouldn’t be so arrogant and complain about dumbing down shit when you don’t understand that non-native English speakers have a mother tongue. Also societal context??? Dude, you understand that societal context is dependent on the situation. If I am exposed to something as a non native speaker on e.g. the internet, that something doesn’t exclusive exist in the societal context that the author might intended it to be. And also if I am a non native speaker but I live in the country for 45years that my understanding of the societal context could easily be equal or better than a native speaker’s understanding, as e.g. I was able to contrast the 2 contexts that I am familiar with and that might exposes social notions that a native speaker is not actively aware of. What I am trying to express, your response seem to be pretty dumbed down.

Them- “btw, you’ve pronounced that word incorrectly.”
You- “THAT’S RACIST. You are full of hate and ignorance!”
