I liked it here.

There was a lot I never got to explore here. It was cool watching everyone else though. Maybe someday I'll open up like that too.

whatever "joke" you have about the welsh language, i can promise you we've already heard it and it's really not funny. yes we know "it looks like a keysmash". and what the "cym" part of the words cymraeg/cymru/etc sound like to english speakers. and how it "barely has any vowels" (what even..? welsh has more vowels than english does). and that you think we can't even pronounce our own place names. and that you think that one place with the really long name is so funny and hilarious and "so impossible to pronounce" (if you break it into the smaller words it's comprised of, then i fail to see how it would be any harder than pronouncing a sentence). and that you think we seriously say popty-ping.

Half of these are literally just "I haven't challenged my preconceived notions that every language is English with different words." People see a self-consistent system and mock it for being unfamiliar.

it's extra fun when it's someone whose mother tongue isn't even english who does it

like yes, [family member], it's incredibly funny to hear you joke about a specific place name being unpronounceable (aberystwyth, in this case), when they've literally lived for years right next to a place with a name that's technically more complex (slightly longer name, also has a fun interaction between some sounds at one point) just because the former uses a couple y's and w's.

it's quite the thing
