Idk what in the world you’re talking about. This is a totally relatable sentence that I say all the time. You’re the weird one here if you don’t access to 615 giraffes. Sheesh.
How odd. I’ve never done my of those things and I grew up on computers. I even used computers as my main way of socializing for most of my life and I’ve still never done those things.
Well…I say that but I’ve definitely stood up and yanked stuff to the floor while wearing headphones many times before. But I have done it for years before I even so much as held a Bluetooth headset. It’s just easy to get entangled in wires.
That other stuff is so incredibly odd to me though. I’ve never forgot that i’m not using a computer before.
Can you link me a to a clip or a pronunciation source that has someone pronouncing it like that? I’ve never heard that anywhere in my life. I’m guessing it’s a less common accent.
I’m in the US and I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it “SAW-dur” in person or in any form of media. You are supposed to pronounce the L in the General American accent.
If you use Google’s word pronunciation tools, both General American and Received Pronunciation pronounce the L in soldier.
Edit: I like the downvotes to all my comments without anyone showing me people pronouncing it that way.
I have tried some of the “tricks” in the comments and none work for me. Try as I might, I can only see them as face up and nothing else. It doesn’t make sense to me that they could ever appear face down because the lighting wouldn’t make sense.
You joke, but it really is an incredibly cool experience. I am not a doctor, but I was privileged to have a hands on anatomy class in school where we had human cadavers. Things are so different in person than they are in textbooks. And getting to actual see, touch, and feel how the human body works and how it goes wrong is just amazing. I was so wowed by it that it’s what led me to my career today (working in a hospital lab with human organs).
I can’t turn on the sound while I’m at work so maybe it explains it…but doesn’t the idea of adding water to the towel to expand it defeat the purpose of a towel? Like if I’m wiping up a spill, a soaking wet rag isn’t going to be super helpful. I guess it depends what you want to use it for. Maybe I’m just caught up on the world “towel” when it’s really more like an expandable wet wipe. Idk.
