Misspelling of tequila?
Fuck spelling norms.
Make English Phonetic Again!
MEPA!
Tequila is actually a phonetic word in Spanish, lol
Yes. But phonetic languages phoneticise loanwords.
Ie. In Japanese the word “coffee” has bexome a loanword. But they don’t keep the unphoneticised english version. They phoneticise it to fit with their pronounciation and it becomes kohi.
(This is complicated of course by katakana and such but just an example. German tends to so the same, since it’s phonetic.)
Ie. German Kaffee from turkish kahve, or German Komputer from english computer
Small correction: Komputer is not a german word, but it might have been three or more decades ago.
Oh, interessant! Mein Deutschlehrer hatte ein Lernburn aus 1985, vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum ich es so gelernt habe.
Ja, das haut zeitlich sehr gut hin - ich bin 1989 geboren und kenne die Schreibweise mit K nicht, aber laut Wiktionary ist es wohl noch 1995 so in einem deutschen Wörterbuch abgedruckt gewesen.
Kudos to you for your german language skills 👌
I always though komputer is what KDE people call the computer

I actually know Katakana and a limited amount of Japanese so yes, I know what you mean.
Great point about phoneticized loanwords though!
If I could go back and slap the shit out of the inventor of katakana I would. Can you imagine a French class in the US where some kid says "Joo my apple John Clod Van Dam. Joo soois Americane," and the teacher telling them it's perfect?
Hell is a world where you write common english with the IPA alphabet
You dont need IPA to make it phonetic though:
You can stick with latin and just make phonetic rules consistent so if you hear a word you automatically know how to spell it. Like in german.
It's technically possible to use the esperanto phonetic alphabet, but it would still look incredibly weird
(the latin alphabet is the same alphabet english is currently written in.)
German and Italian manage to be phonetic using it.
I think you mean MEFA
happy cake day
Didn't color inside the lines.
If not overdone that's perfectly healthy tbh
alcohol's never healthy
Only a Sith deals in absolutes
Umm...
You have the high ground. I surrender.
Yeah but it's often better than the alternative. Can't imagine trying to make it through a work conference without a drink or 5.
it is a way to vent, and venting/relieving stress can be pretty good. it doesn't really solve the underlying problem and actually adds some problems of its own, but y'know.
just because it lets you cope with other issues doesn't mean it's a healthy coping method
not saying it's healthy, just that it can have good effects
Oh no, I was going to live to 500. Guess I'll finish off my Aberlour 16 tonight anyway.
Chicken soup for the soul, not the organs.
Found the party pooper
Sucks that you need alcohol to have fun
Sucks that you aren’t even fun without it
this is such a violently alcoholic statement
Hey, I might enjoy an adult beverage from time to time, but I am usually not violent (except in video games).
Is anything, really?
That bottle says Java
Pretty sure it's representing JAJA
Can't see the image. Mozilla and chrome both say it's "unsecure" and won't let me proceed to view it.
Screenshot of a social media post with title "Always check your child's homework".
Below the title is a picture of an elementary school worksheet...the type with an area to draw on top and a writing prompt with a few blank lines below. From top to bottom:
A drawing, seemingly made by a child, maybe 6-8 years old. Drawing is of a woman wearing a crown with a glass bottle in one hand and a microphone in the other.
Below that, the prompt: "To relax, my mom likes to".
Below that, the child's response: "drink tequela and sing"
Mistaken spelling of tequila was present on the page. Personally, I like to think that if this is real, the child asked their mom without context how to spell the word, and she drunkenly stammered out the letters you see here.
commenter of the month material right here
Does she like to sing Tequila?
My kid recently did one similar to this. They asked him to make a story about a clown, and he drew pictures of Pennywise with full-on sewer and how he wants to get the kids into the sewer... our mouths dropped. I can't imagine what that teacher thinks. We also have no idea how he knows about the plot to the movie since he obviously never saw it. Kids pick up the craziest stuff.
My partner teaches 7 year olds and a few years back they would try and recreate squid game at lunchtime.
Same! I think they know about it because of roblox. So they know the games, but not really what the show is, which is a little better.
And?
