We live in an age where something actually being what it is is a surprise.

• Chocolate (often brown sugar paste)
• Ice cream (often frozen oil)
• Social media (often antisocial or parasocial)

...but not for a different party? That kinda defeats the purpose of voting imo

I think the problem was that you wrote a comment that wasn't understandable

Workers throwing off their chains of the right to vote?

Or never at all! Haha

I don't think age determines when that happens

Suh-poon is also reasonably common!

It if you speak Spanish, "Es-poon"!

My apologies though, I got it backwards. I'll edit the comment to be accurate, but for router (networking stuff)...

"oo" is more common outside of North America.

"au" is more common in North America.

I feel like a lot of people just drop the "I a" and say "'preciate it!", lol

(That's assuming you're using it like "thank you", and aren't just starting a sentence)

Mispronunciation. "Mis" isn't a word, but a prefix (or something) that gets attached to another word to modify it. Since it's not its own word, it gets prepended to the root word ("pronounce" in this case) without a dash.

German would always have the capital. In English, proper nouns get capitalized. There's an official list, I'd bet, but a good rule of thumb is that titles (books, movies), specific place names (Germany, London, Abbey Road), people's names (Bob, Reiner), and "I" (but not "me" etc) are put into "Title Case". (Title case wouldn't be capitalized, I just typed it that way to demonstrate it)

I actually like a lot of the German capitalization rules. On the internet, a lot of people will be more casual with capitalization. Some people will capitalize "important words", or things that aren't proper nouns but have a different meaning than usual...but these kinds of things are improper.

As for routing (and router, and heck...route in general)...both are correct pronunciations of this "ou". I think "au" is more common for networking in North America, and "oo" is more common in other English-speaking countries (the UK, Australia...).

As for "route" as in "Route 56", I tend to hear and say both/either (I'm in North America).

Sorry it's so inconsistent!

"sp" cluster can be hard. So can "sk" at the end of a word. Hence why you can get "axe" instead of "ask"

"uu" would just be "oo" (most likely) in English, generally. I'm not sure what the difference would be
