How Many of You Know....

[TheFemalePerspective]

... that although we have 26 letters in the English language, there are 44 phonemes in total. Not everyone was taught to break down words phonetically. Most people just learn it through practice and experience.

Chalk... (The C is pronounced with the 'choo choo' sound)

Cat... (Here, the C is pronounced like 'K')

When the black man on wheel of fortune read 'Archilles' wrong, it was because he read the 'C' using the wrong phoneme, which is understandable because there is a 'h' next to the c. He used the 'rule' of experience and unfortunately got it wrong, as he probably never heard the pronunciation of that word before.

That video is going viral now & instead of people seeking to understand his situation, they're quickly using it to psychologically tear him down. This is what I hate about the internet. People are so quick to laugh and point without reflecting.

You could already see the pain of embarrassment in his eyes and now people want to immortalize it? Before you laugh at someone, stop and think how you'd like people to treat you, if you were in a similar situation.

Fair point for the most part, your worst/most embarrassing moment doesn't define you.

Great thread. 99% of the people tearing him down don't even know why they are doing so.

Sidenote: Is that your Picture on your dp?

But we all make mistakes.



There's no need to try and break someone's spirit just because they got something wrong.

Exactly! They're just jumping on the bandwagon.

Sidenote: Yes, it is.

What's worse is when they take a picture of a complete stranger and upload it so they can laugh.





I'm not sure if smartphones have weakened humanity's morals, or they've just exposed our wickedness.

They are not necessarily doing it to make themselves feel better. Like I stated earlier they are doing it because other people are doing it.
Its herd mentality. If you think about it its truly terrifying.

A bit of both, I think.

And ITA that it's terrifying.
