Whomever named this was extremely cruel because those who have it can’t pronounce it.
Don’t look up the fear of long words
“Hippopotomonstroses-quippedaliophobia” hahahaha. props to whoever made that.
It sorta works to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpalidocious
I thought this was going to be about the programming language. :/ I blame XKCD
I did also, because my feed is mostly coding stuff and I actually use lisp.
Similar to kerning (the spacing between letters); fonts with bad kerning make the word look like keming.
The entire showerthought must be in the title
Should I delete it and redo it?
Just edit it.
You can edit titles on Lemmy.
So is rhotacism (inability to pronounce “R”). Funnily enough, it also has the “R” sound in Ukrainian (картавість - Cyrillic “р” corresponds to the rolling “R” sound) and Russian
As a Russian who cannot roll the R I feel the burn every time.
Same thing with the guy who named it ‘dyslexia.’
This word is actually not named maliciously at all. From Greek:
“Dys,” meaning “bad,” or “abnormal,” like in Dysfunctional
“Lexia” from “Lexis,” meaning “reading.” Think of “lexicon.”
So now you have a perfectly normal word in Greek that came to the modern age and now is ironic because it’s not exactly native
Named what??
Try pronouncing “stuttering” while stuttering
Partials and dentures come to mind.
