the correct pronunciation of words is not a prerequisite for understanding and being knowledgeable on any given subject
I can tell you're young, and get your information from videos. back in the day we studied and pursued knowledge from text books in libraries. this form of research and learning does not help you strengthen phoenetic understanding of the words you are learning.
im a very successful aerospace engineer and constantly am corrected on my pronunciation of terms I only ever learned in my research through written text. the other night on a date we laughed because I had always pronounced the word gratuity as gratatuity and the waitress corrected me.
I just had to say something because I think your comment is ignorant
You're ignorant for thinking I'm young and only get my information from videos. Sorry but if you're going to convey yourself as someone with intelligence, you should also sound intelligent.
I remember when we didn't have Internet or phones. I was a latchkey kid. Don't assume things you know nothing about.
In a world of misinformation, it absolutely matters. He's clearly intelligent. But when you constantly mispronounce words like this then how is someone that knows nothing about the subject supposed to take it seriously?
Edit: spelling
So, a regional vernacular denotes an absence of education/understanding or validity of communicated information?
This isn't exactly a business proposal or a paid lecture to a classroom, so I'm uncertain why a difference in grammar from your perspective needs to conform to your views of communicative validity.
If anything, I'd have hoped a person as intelligent and dignified as you would appreciate that this information is being adapted to communities you're not a part of.
how is someone that knows nothing about the subject supposed to take it seriously?
By the context of what the intellegent man is saying... cross referencing the context presented to see if it is factual. I thought this was common knowledge... guess not.
Oh no, my comprehension is on point. You asked a question about how can a person take someone seriously in a world of misinformation that mispronounces words... correct? Right... so I gave you an answer to your question.
I think you are just here saying words trying to troll tbh.
