"It's pronounced dee-ah gwit, it's pronounced jee-ah gwitch, it's pronounced jee-ah ditch, it's proonunced jee-ah gwit, it's pronounced dee-ah dit it's it's it's", it's pronounced dia duit or dia dhuit

"it's pronounced cul-la saw-v", do you even know what the hyphens are for??

"It's pronounced fram-a drap-a-door-ackta", god help us all

"It's pronounced uvvaka", someone commented this under a video of a child native to the Gaeltacht I'm losing my mind (the child said uibheachaí I think, I would say uibhe)

Irish and English have different sounds, so it's not possible to accurately represent the sounds of Irish using English spelling. This is obvious for what people call "guttural" sounds, like broad ch, you often see some variation of "chock" or "chokh" or "choh" for teach, but obviously english has no way of spelling that sound. It's not just a few sounds though, Irish has like 30 different consonants. Broad b, slender b, broad d, slender d etc.

PLUS, Irish spelling usually tells you how to pronounce words pretty accurately if you understand the rules, so this kind of respelling isn't necessary.

DOUBLE PLUS, different dialects will pronounce words differently, but the spelling will often accurately represent that for all of them. I say samhradh as samhra with a neutral vowel at the end, because that's how -adh is read in munster*, whereas in ulster they would read it as samhrú because that's how -adh is read there.

*for nouns

Something else I wanted to say about the Choso vs Yuuji episode is, I just straight up forgot how they first met. Like, in my brain they're brothers already etc. I forgot how Choso was about to kill Yuuji (and I mean he would've succeeded if Sukuna wouldn't have awakened) and I mean he beat the LIVING SHIT out of Yuuji. And I'm like. Choso you're so cool. But MY POOR SON YUUJI.

wait, so maria hill started working for tony after tws, and she also knew about coulson being the director of s.h.i.e.l.d. coulson told her where hydra was keeping the scepter, she told the avengers, and that's how you get to the beginning of aou. so do the avengers know where she got that intel? do they know there's a new s.h.i.e.l.d.? or did hill bs something like, "so, an old contact of mine just reached out to me and said loki's scepter was at these coordinates, so you should probably do something about that." i mean, fury also knows about the new s.h.i.e.l.d. and showed up to sokovia in their helicarrier, and he said something about it having some mothballs and that a friend found it for him.

I’m convinced armys don’t watch and listen to what bts themselves have been saying. They said the pandemic put all their work on hold, they couldn’t perform anything from black swan/ON. They want to just release happy music right now cause that’s what THEY need for themselves. They don’t want to release a body of work like mots7 right now when they can’t perform it at all.

no i understand that and im not saying they shouldnt do that, but if theyre going to do that i wish they would try to make sure that the song itself is actually good ? like thats literally what so much of kpop is about making fun little nonsense songs that dont have super deep meanings but make people feel happy!! but they have to actually be pleasing to listen to? a song cant cheer me up if its not enjoyable enough to listen to that i actually want to.. listen to it
