Oh my, this is a hard one!
I used the random question generator to give me 3 questions:

What's something that you recently learned that everyone else already knew?

Not that recently, but I learned this later than most: For most of my life, I had no idea that W and V are supposed to be different sounds (in English). I found out via Star Trek, of all things. The Chris Pine movies have a joke where Chekov fails to input a password because he can’t tell the difference – and neither can I! I was so confused, didn’t get the joke until I googled it. Still can’t hear a difference, but I know it’s there at least.


How difficult is it for you to try new things?

Oh god, so difficult. I am pulling myself into anything new like an exceptionally stubborn dog on a leash.


What's the best compliment you ever received?

“You’re ruthlessly pragmatic, I love that”

Yeah, I'm pretty sure my parents never could hear the difference either (much less pronounce it, LOL). It's so fascinating, they sound completely different to me!

New things are hard, yeah. *fistbump*

Funnily enough, I can say it - just not hear. So weird XD

[trobadora]

All right, that is even weirder! *g*
