There is this woman in my Linguistics class who will not shut up or stop laughing. I want to die every time I hear her. She’s so stupid. She is very into trying to find the “proper” or “right” way to pronounce things, despite the fact that this does not exist. She can’t tell the difference between eth and delta, and she can’t tell the difference between a voiced th (“mother”) and a voiceless th (“moth”). It’s so bad.

She keeps making fun of Italian and the way Italians pronounce things, as well as New Yorkers and the way New Yorkers pronounce things, as though there’s one unified NY accent. She’s an Italian-American New Yorker, so I guess her well-founded self-hatred is unfortunately oozing out into her wordvomit.
