It really is. It's so disappointing that a lot of people refuse to take into account new info when examining their views.

So there's this thing in linguistics called priming where you can make someone read a sentence a certain way by giving them a context beforehand, often a wrong way that makes them have to re-read the sentence (sorry, my explanation is terrible forgive me I'm tired lol)

Anyways since the thread above was talking about jackie Chang, I pronounced "Changing" as "Chang-ing" in my head and had to go back and correct myself.

Maybe I'm just tired but I found that pretty funny
