If nobody is paying attention, then nobody will care about not getting paid. It may sound disappointing, but I'm sure a German who wants something specific can find ways to get to it.

It's not a big spoiler if you are paying attention to what's going on in the episode, but Charlie thinks he is actually getting smarter from the pills and does things he thinks are smart but are not. The chess moves he makes are nonsense. The guy actually calls two checkmate moves in a row, which is obviously not possible if the first one was indeed a checkmate.

Not exact but it sounds familiar. My guess:

Show: It's Always sunny in Philadelphia. Episode: Flowers for Charlie. Description: Charlie gets accepted in an intelligence study. At one point he plays chess with a scientist who is taking notes on his "progress".

Yeah and it's giraffe, not jiraffe. See how that gets us nowhere?

Debunked? Its a counterpoint to the fact that it's pronounced that way because it's spelled with a g. If that poor argument wasn't used, the giraffe one wouldn't have to come up. It's not evidence of anything other than that letters can be pronounced in more than one way.

For the graphical thing, imagine pronouncing NASA wrong because of the way aeronautical is pronounce. Or underwater in scuba. World in WHO? The I in AIDS isn't pronounced anything like immunodeficiency.

Your argument doesn't work either.

With the other pronunciation. Some letters have more than one. Your statement is nonsense lol
