Mixed up にんじん (ninjin = carrot) and 人間 (ningen = human) in my italki lesson today and accidentally said I'm planning to make human soup for lunch 🙃

I was just trying to introduce myself to Papago. I guess I need an easier name :D

"You may be under the impression that you have no way of knowing the proper grouping until you are told.  Exactly!  You have to learn the proper grouping when you are introduced to a word.  There is no other way."  -- on the position of consonants in spelling, Functional Korean, 1989.

This just makes me laugh and laugh.  (in despair.)
