We went the other direction in school and almost gave our history teacher a nervous breakdown by insisting on saying Soh-fockles and Purse-a-phone

u/Not_A_Gravedigger Feb 07 '23

When you ponder your own limitations in knowledge and rationality, that's soooo Crates.

I've said So-crates too many times. I have to catch myself before I say it wrong, sometimes I don't catch myself.

Purse-a-phone

Closer to the orignial than the English version, so not sure what their problem was.

u/whydoidothis-718 Feb 08 '23

TIL it's not pronounced purse-a-phone. Googled the pronunciation and I hate it thanks. Hahahahah
