fyi falcons are not closely related to other birds of prey (hawks/eagles/buzzards). falcons are actually parrots that minmaxed for a glass cannon dps build.

Look, rather than being petty and destroying it, why not talk to the girl. Really ask them why they are using the confederate flag. But no, low level terrorism is the answer.

LOW LEVEL TERRORISM?

There is no ethical use of decorative Confederate Flags. Trash em all.

Hint: its because the video is not as well researched as its presentation implies

Hint: it’s because sometimes it’s hard to pronounce words especially if you don’t use them very often

Don’t leave this in the tags!! They’re good points! An attempt is better than nothing!

It’s one thing to listen to a correct pronunciation. It’s another to actually have your mouth form the words, especially when you’re using a sound you don’t normally use in your native language.

Maybe they’re not saying “I didn’t look up the actual pronunciation and I’m just winging it.” Maybe it’s “I looked it up and it uses a sound that I don’t use in my day to day speech and I don’t think I did it quite right but I tried.”

And sometimes, there aren’t sufficient resources to teach you the correct pronunciation! Sometimes you’ll get bot-made videos that contradict each other.

This this this this. As someone who struggles to pronounce a couple of words I use fairly often my FIRST LANGUAGE, thanks to those particular sounds just being difficult shapes for me to string together coherently, I am constantly afraid of fucking up words in other languages or even just with roots in other languages.

It’s one thing to not even try, but the “I hope I’m doing this correctly” isn’t always “I’m hoping I can just wing this word with whatever I think it’s supposed to sound like,” a lot of times it “okay so I’ve looked it up and tried it a few times so I’m really hoping its coming out right, but I’m not used enough to the language to really be sure .”

Languages are fucking DIFFICULT for a lot of people. Not just the repeating/speaking part, but also the ability to HEAR and RECOGNIZE the patterns and sounds.

[IDS: two screenshots of tags.

The first screenshot reads: #(multiple pointing up emojis) #It bothers me so much ESPECIALLY when it happens in video essays #oh? so you did ALL this research and writing but you couldn't take a second of your life to go search the way you pronounce something? #like FUCK OFF.

The second screenshot reads: #not everyone is out to get you #they apologize in advance for maybe doing it wrong #and you wonder why some people don't even bother to try? #when you tear down those who do even though they admit they might be failing?

You know, I've been speaking and listening English every day for a decade, I'm fluent as fuck, I can have extended conversations about highly complex topics without even thinking I'm doing it in English ... And still, there are multiple English words I just butcher when I try to pronounce them.

Because I can't make certain sounds. I barely can hear certain sounds. Like, "beard bear beer bird"? "Bir bir bir bir" for me. "Bitch beach"? "Bich Bich" for me. My anglo friends swear they hear a difference and, very carefully, they try to teach me how to pronounce "bich" differently from "bich".

So yeah, every time I see someone apologizing in advance for butchering the pronunciation of something... Well, feel you my dude or dudette.
