I like to imagine V1 with a voicebox, but the voicebox is shitty, and it pronounces words incorrectly or ways that V1 dislikes. So V1 has to spell words using phonetics, but V1 wasn’t programmed with this knowledge. Which means V1 has to learn this phonetics stuff and that frustrates V1, because it’s difficult to adjust its speaker idk and remember the way a phoneme is supposed to be pronounced. Maybe its creators programmed only one language into it, so V1 struggles like a monolingual person does. Maybe its creators couldn’t spend more time programming more languages into it, it was created in a rush. (Fun angst idea: V2 was programmed as multilingual, and it tries to belittle V1 with this. Even during The New Peace, V1’s creators couldn’t be bothered to program more languages into it, they just leave V1 to gather dust 😢.) Or maybe its creators were assholes who thought of whatever language as superior, probably English because there’s this weird English language colonialism in real life, so they haughtily only allowed one language for it to be programmed with. (Idk this idea came from the weird racism some Americans have against speaking or knowing other languages, and how they expect speakers with non-English native tongue, to cater to them, by going through the burden of learning English. And those Americans want the non-native English speakers to feel ashamed for being bilingual… which wtf. Being bilingual means they’re smarter and more skilled at language. I wonder if this exists in the Ultrakill world.) My idea doesn’t really make sense because it would be rather dumb for the scientists to not have V1 highly versed in multiple languages.
This all came from thinking about the ways Gabriel is pronounced, and the way Gabriel is pronounced in Ultrakill. I thought of V1 wanting to say his name correctly, but the text to speech voice box is crappy.
