    I didn’t know what it meant to be hit so hard in he feels until this.

    I was walking down “roading lane” yesterday and i thought that was bad enough.

      If it helps, “monosyllabic” has five syllables. (Last time I mentioned this on lemmy I was bombarded by people who had a lot to say about it, though)

      Many problems do. Unfortunately, other problems, some if them worse, might START as a consequence of the same change, so not really worth it IMO

    And the word “cum” is actually thinner than the word “water” but cum is still thicker than water (it’s a saying)
