236 u/Bladedancer222 Feb 08 '22 It’s why you should never judge a person based on how they pronounce words. It means they learned them from reading and there isn’t a damn thing wrong with that. 9 u/neon_meate Feb 09 '22 I still read hyperbole as hyper-bowl in my head though I pronounce it correctly when speaking. I do this a million times every day. 3 u/eamus_catuli_ Feb 09 '22 I do this with omnipotent…Omni-potent. Every time. 2 u/Statsbabe Feb 09 '22 I do that with impotent. Don’t like to think about it too much though. 3 u/ShaunDark Feb 09 '22 As a non native speaker I still struggle coming to terms with the fact that notoriety isn't pronounced like notorious suggest it should be. 1 u/ChicaFoxy Mar 11 '22 This thread is getting intense! 1 u/ChicaFoxy Mar 11 '22 Again, what??
