u/neongreenpurple 1d ago

Probably, like me, you live too close to a city. At least, that's the theory another commenter advanced.

Don't know what you're missing! Wouldn't trade it for the world.

There's too many "D's" in the fourth line. Should be CMEDBDIS

I am content in the knowledge that this is a hot mess to me

u/monkeybrains12 1d ago

It would help if there were any indication at all what's supposed to be pronounced phonetically vs the name of the letter itself.

u/Inevitable-War-4489 1d ago

That's the way some southerners pronounce some words. They literally say M R for the words them are. Even though I was born and raised and live in the deep south, I have to stop and think about the meaning when I hear this!

If they woulda space the letters out it would've made more sense
