minus-squareall-knight-partylinkfedilink9•9 months agoGotcha, so it’d be “real g’s are soft like lasagna”
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•9 months agoSure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?

The “G” in “Lasagna” is silent
Except it’s not really, because it changes how the N is pronounced
Gotcha, so it’d be “real g’s are soft like lasagna”
