I know this is a science place, but I wanted to share this interesting video about English pronunciation

@corvina
That was exactly the kind of surprising science I came here hoping to learn.
Note we the way internally pronounce some words without the y such a dude Putin honoring their short time here. Weird.
For me:
That says stuff about who we are (as species) that until pointed out our brains just gloss over all that. Makes for me a start at understanding how (twit/people) hold such cognitive dissonances without exploding. If the dissonance crawls into the back of my/their head where the pronunciation stuff lives, I/They just won't see it, either.
