    The zoomer incel gooner that spends weeks or months ERPing in discord consumes only anime as media and does not ever see an actual woman in an actual sundress, in media or the real world.

    Thus, to them, all sundresses are anime sundresses.

        I said it because I’ve known quite a few zoomer hikikomori.

        Its like people who only read or type words, but never actually have audible conversations with those words… they have no idea how to pronounce them.

        Why would they? No relevant use case.

            Most people in general still cannot seem to figure out the difference between calvary and cavalry.

            Both are pronounced as they are spelled.

            Calvary is the hill Christ was crucified on.

            Cavalry refers usually to soldiers mounted on horseback, though since the invention of helicopters, it also means infantry transported via helicopters.

            This one doesn’t seem to be caused by lack of verbal usage, it seems to just be a quite common pair of words to conflate, a very minor but widespread dyslexia/dysphasia, like nuclear and nuke-you-lur.

            EDIT: An example more in line with mispronouncing meme, due to never using it aloud…

            I remember in middle school when the extremely bossy, overconfident girl pronounced ‘analyst’ as … anal-ist.

            Oi vei, lol. Paging Dr. Proctor, paging Dr. Proctor.
