Welcome to Furry_irl, a community for furry memes, shitposts, and other relatable images or comics.

Community rules:

  1. Code of Conduct — Follow our instance rules.
  2. Post formatting — All titles should be a single word, followed by _irl. An emoji may substitute the underscore.
  3. Credit artists — If it's not your art, include who made it in the title or the post body. Links are appreciated, except to X/Twitter.
  4. Stay on topic — Images should contain or be related to furries. Images should be relatable or a meme. This isn't the place for general art posts.

I think the key is whether the person learns by phonetics (young age, first language) vs by text (older, not first language).

Then the more studious originally-phonetics-learners can supplement their understanding with text later in life and overcome errors like the one in the OP.

That's a good explanation, always wondered how native speakers could fuck that up.
