I don’t like to call Frankenstein’s creation a ‘monster’ because he seems pretty chill, so I just call him Frankenstein’s lil boi

Sooo I’m guessing that for Americans “cross” and “sauce” rhyme?

I cannot imagine what pronunciation would cause them not to, so yes

if you live somewhere that “sauce” and “horse” rhyme, i don’t want to hear your opinions on literally anything.

^^ Also, Boomers, The written format is much more condusive for Millinnials because we actually know how to put expressions- facial and tonal -into what we write. To the point the linguists actually study our newfangled way of communicating because it is just as complex and nuanced as actual, face-to-face communication. We don’t follow old-fashioned grammar anymore because the old-fashioned grammar fails to meet our current communication needs. Old-fashioned grammar is too sterile to actually communicate anymore. It’s almost like a scientist trying to communicate with a layman. It just wont translate. Old grammar is great for informing, but horrible for talking and chatting like we do these days. So, we have nuances based on caps, alternate caps, how many periods or commas or spaces or anything we used to imply the correct tone.

When your grammar is correct but spell-check still gives you shit.

it’s so weird to me that shrek originally wasn’t meant to have a scottish accent can you imagine him with an american accent? it wouldn’t be the same the scottish accents adds some flavour some zest a certain je ne sais quoi

him shouting ‘DONKEY’ wouldn’t be as powerful
