@hashtagjrupp: Oh, we’re talking about “condex” #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign #psychology #utah

Painfreebeauty :

In her defense, she’s in Utah, and we don’t say our “Ts” 🙃🙃

RACR416 :

This is something I come across when people use “casted”. I can't help but disregard anything they say after.

Bryan, History Teacher :

I’m convinced that the root of this is racism, classism and misogyny

Lindsey Sawrie :

Rupp, I’m teaching a mini unit on civil discourse in my government class next year. What would you say are the most prevalent logical fallacies that I should teach the kids about so they can avoid them and point them out in their own lives? Love your videos!

The Suburban :

Keep in mind that understanding the prejudice can be weaponised. I’m seeing this being discussed us oaf. Disarming and exposing others by getting them to assume you’re not going to be able to challenge them.

Shannon Danielle Lan :

Interestingly, a word being used in the correct “condex” says more about intelligence than the pronunciation of said word. I know many intelligent people who are just not great at spelling or pronunciation.

kanju art :

Partly related to this rhetoric, but a lot of people assume those who can't speak English as well as a native speaker is less smart than they are, because of the limited vocabulary. It is infuriating when it is made obvious and actually forced me to get to native proficiency in this language

failenaa :

I don’t care necessarily if someone mispronounces something but what actually gets me and makes me doubt someone’s intelligence or authority is when they’re trying to criticize or correct someone else and they use the wrong word or mispronounce things. I was watching a video literally yesterday where a guy was talking about the woman whose cat was let out by the pet sitter and he was condemning her for posting her location online, and said as someone who lives thousands of miles away he didn’t need to be “appraised” of the situation. Appraise has a completely different meaning to apprised which is what he meant. And it’s like, if you’re going to come for what someone else does, at least know what you’re saying.

Johnny Norway :

All words are made up.... Judge a person not by the grammar of their speech but by the content of their character. Thanks Doctor King.

drmorrio :

she’s saying ‘a condex’ which is soooo worse lol

Drea :

Is this why I cringe when people I love pronounce things wrong? I just don't want people to think they're stupid 😬

Jamie :

Lately I feel like way too many people are only paying attention to how people are talking and not to the things they’re actually saying…

JosieKat :

I assumed she did that on purpose for extra engagement. it’s a very effective tactic used by certain political accounts on twitter (for example)

Whisky Jim :

I struggle with this. I grew up with a mom who was very strict on "proper" grammar and pronunciation. I've had to unlearn judging a message based on dialect differences of the messenger.

nichtyoyo :

I had a teacher who acted like this. When I was very justifiably upset, he’d dismiss me first based on being emotional, then based on using a word incorrectly. Still mad about that guy.

TwistyPretzel :

I've heard so many people I respect mispronounce or even make up words recently. It's been killing me!! I've had to work really hard to focus on the content of what they're saying rather than how they're saying it.

Alia_JL 🍉 :

is that shirt silk?

sea turtle (ФωФ) :

Whitney Craythorn :

And sometimes its one of those family jokes. Someone said it wrong a long time ago and now your family says it wrong on purpose. My daughter for example, said foo-vie once at a very young age. It will forever be changed from movie to foovie.

SavageNC26 :

I imagine that this is similar to (or might lead to) a sort of cognitive dissonance. That said, what would be a reliable method to recover from the Horn Effect (as the target) or Halo Effect (as the observer)?

Dashric🇳🇱 :

I heard someone say.. Suh vrennitty instead of sovereignty... And it took me out of the conversation. Also many USians say axe instead of ask and I wonder about the split your language is going through

Bella :

If you say “supposebly” instead of “supposedly,” I immediately judge you.
