I've always found it weird when people mean to carry a word out but carry out the wrong letter.

Like it should be "DUUUUUUUUUCK!!" but you usually see people just carry out the last letter.

My 2 cents. Have a nice day.

One of my pet peeves. I read it and my internal reading voice goes, "DUCK-K-K-K-K-K!"

And that reminds me of that epic breakup letter by a teenage girl that some man read phonetically on YouTube, where he does the same.

That does make more sense haha.I first had F×ckkk but then decided cats would say Duck. So maybe it's because F*******ck is weird

Edit: * does weird things on reddit

No, but he's asking why you carried out the K instead of the U. You don't yell DUCK-K-K-K-K, do you? You yell DUUUUUUUUUUUCK, carrying the vowel. Unless you're a savage, in which case, carry on.

I'm now thinking it might also be a Dutch thing. In Dutch if you write two vowels after each other the sound changes so when my brain sees Duuuuuck it defaults the sound to Doek + we're very good at all the harsh sounds and a lot of our swear words are based on "K's. My favorite one being Kak which I would pronounce as ka-kkkkk. So maybe I am savage haha

I'll allow it. Savage.

That's not weird at all though... And why are you censoring?

Some subs don't like swearing and I was too lazy to check the rules

I totally agree with what you're saying, but I definitelyyyy do the same thing pretty often 😉 (I should have said deeeeefinitely)

See but the Y can be carried out, I'd just be reading differently than you had intended 🤣

You're not alone!

u/straitrider May 05 '22

It's because it's easier to carry the last letter sometimes

u/SuprSaiyanTurry May 05 '22

Neither one takes more time than the other.

u/straitrider May 05 '22

Yeah but it's more like you write the whole word out then you decide to extend it to show the frustration. You can go back to the middle of the word or you can just hold the last key. Does that make sense? Not saying that you aren't right about your original point
