I got a tumblr, it really was quite great

I blog about a lot of things, but mostly what I ate.

I thought it was a sweet gig, it really was quite cushy.

Then they went and banned me, ‘cause all I ate was pussy.

I signed up on tumblr, I didn’t know what to expect.

I thought I could just post and not worry about being fact checked

But once my posts went viral, no one saw my genius

Now all they do is reblog and say “kung pow penis.”

I’m a YA book author, I have a tumblr too

I post a lot of info, for my tumblypoos

But then one day my time was up, I read it on the clock

And now my most famous post is about how I love cock

i made a tumblr, and it didnt go great

whenever i make a post, all i get is hate

arguing with strangers, it really is a slog

i know all about politics, i run a hentai blog

One day I made a Tumblr, now I’ve been here ten years,

I’ve stayed through every update that left the userbase in tears,

And I don’t regret a second, for here’s the truth, you see:

I’m not locked in here with you, friend; you’re locked in here with me.

this might be the best shitpost I’ve ever come across

@a-slut-for-smut

This is great!

Though it does totally bother me that Collin was posted last and not before Ryan as it is in Hoedown.

@originalladyscythe LOL omg i ABSOLUTELY concur- Ryan is the legendary closer/finisher of the hoedowns, hmm this may bump the score to 9/10 shitpost, but still top notch quality :D

You will not believe the amount of times I’ve read an English word and thought of a pronunciation and then continued to pronounce the word that way in my head for years only to discover that it has a completely different pronunciation and I would’ve made a fool of myself if I had ever pronounced that word out loud

it’s okay native speakers have exactly the same experience

It’s a phenomenon unofficially known as “reader’s accent” and it’s very common! Because English has so many words (in fact considered to be the language with the greatest number of words) lots of people, and in particular those who read a lot as children, will encounter a word in writing long before they hear it spoken. They’ll develop the idea of what the word will sound like in their head, and only realize when they hear it spoken that their idea was different than the common pronunciation. 

I’ve even had it where I’ve known words as spoken words, and I’ve known words as written words, and it’s taken me a significant amount of time to realize that they were the same word. One example I can think of is the word indictment. I always thought “indictment” was pronounced “in-dict-ment,” and it was only when all these police indictments started happening on the news (with the news crawls below the words being spoken) that I realized it was “in-DITE-ment.” 

So yeah, never feel bad for discovering that a word in English is pronounced differently than you would’ve expected. English has had influence from SO many other languages over the centuries as it developed, and as a result, many of our pronunciation “guidelines” are borrowed from the languages the words originally came from. It’s massively inconsistent, and it’s one of the reasons that learning English as a second language is so difficult. 

As my favorite poster in the campus writing center used to proclaim: 

“English: A language that lurks in dark alleyways, beats up other languages, and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary.” 

it wasn’t until an adult that I realized that colonel and spoken word “kernal” were the same word

Me @ me pronouncing “hemorrhage” and “hors d’ouerves”

“soldering” as “sautering”

I used to pronounce “epitome” (e-pit-oh-me) as “epitome” (epi-tom) and only learned that it was wrong when my mom said it out loud

“cordial” was definitely for a long time for me (cor-dial) and not (cor-gial).

the peeved look on my face when i realized segue and Segway are pronounced the same

You don’t want to know how I pronounced “chaos” for most of my childhood

it’s not macabre it’s macabre or macabre

i was convinced dachshund and “doxen” were different breeds of dog

“chaste” (chast), “naivete” (nah-ee-veht), and “catholicism” (catholic-ism) are some of my favorites

i said “intrigue” (in-treeg) as in-treh-goo in front of my history class once and my souls hasn’t known peace since

JESUS CHRIST LIZZIE!
