It can happen with common words too! Like I didn’t know I was pronouncing Thai food wrong till that John Oliver episode
How were you pronouncing it?
Thigh food
That's adorable
Aw shucks
You never heard anyone say Thailand? Or you just never made the connection?
I think it’s the former, I also think I maybe imagined the “Th” when someone else said it. I also may have been surrounded by others who mispronounced both.
So in short I blame society /s
Ha! Typical millennial
Edit: since it's not always clear on the internet, I too am being sarcastic.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That's how I refer to... never mind
