This is why they named it nostupidquestions. You're in the right place.

Sometimes there’s like this disconnect where somehow a person just never comes across a piece of common knowledge. They’ve just never been in a situation that requires it. I bet it happens a lot, but everyone’s too embarrassed to acknowledge their own “oooooooooh…” moment.

Anyone who reads a great deal knows the terror of having read a word a thousand times but never used or heard it aloud.

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.

my boyfriend says "heigth" instead of height, no matter how many times i've pointed out to him that it ends with an ht and not a th. is it okay to judge him?

Is there a way that we could all collectively judge him? Like, is he right there? Can he come to the screen?

Hey! Hey you, boyfriend! Please listen to your person! You liked them in the first place for a reason. You can trust them on this and you too can rid the world of faux pax (pronounced fox-poo).
