@doktordunc @hp2012tweets @jimbojd4 i know, i never said it doesn't. i'm replying to a comment about the "american" pronunciation of caramel

@GoreMagala @LaymansLinguist i said this like a month ago when everyone was criticizing how americans pronounce "tomodachi life" and got crucified 😭

confession i dont get why we judge a language for how it pronounces a loanword bc im pretty sure there isnt a single language on earth that actually preserves the native pronunciation of all its loanwords. like its literally a completely natural linguistic process you guys its ok

@Wildcat_Ogata @jimbojd4 no american would call lasagna a noodle

@richy1965 @jimbojd4 you do not say it like italians say it. you say it with the [æ] vowel, which does not exist in italian. americans say it with the [a] vowel, which does exist in italian

@hp2012tweets @jimbojd4 the american pronunciation of caramel varies by region

[rea 🍉 @firstviolinn]

@Tenzur_ @jimbojd4 @OurCrazyWorldT [æ] does not exist in italian, but [a] does. so actually americans say it closer to how it's pronounced in italian 🤷‍♀️

[rea 🍉 @firstviolinn]

@botzarelli @jimbojd4 except you don't pronounce it how italians do... you pronounce it with a vowel that doesn't even exist in the italian language, [æ]

apparently my friend’s friend in canada uses she/her pronouns in french but they/them in english, which has interesting implications for the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis
