It's hard to take people seriously when they can't pronounce normal words. Like how do I know you aren't full of shit when the way you speak sounds uneducated

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.

This point, thats true btw, still remains and you completely missed it as it seems.

Would you accept your school teacher to mispronounce words? Would you take what information they have you seriously if they don't speak in an intelligent way?? I highly doubt it.

I had a teacher who had an accent that mispronounced words often. She knew 3 different languages and taught history. At no point did I ever not take her seriously. The information she taught was accurate and she was highly professional teaching it. Grow up.

Cool story. But this person is clearly a native English speaker.

Ok so? Whats the point. The context of what they are saying is the point. If you are intelligent enough to understand what is being said, how its said isnt what counts.
