while it seems everyone else says ‘happy christmas’

which imo is a way better phrase, it’s very … pragmatic. happiness is more attainable than merriment. how often is anyone merry?

    Stupid comment. You’re referring to the Spanish R, or in a language with a similar R sound.

    Imagine if a French or German person told you that their R is the only way to pronounce the R.

    This kind of misguided gatekeeping is exhausting.

      Dude it was a joke. The first comment was a joke, and the reply was a follow-up “no u” joke. I’m sorry you can’t read into subtext without /s

      Also, Spanish R? Have you not heard of Scots? It’s called apical-alveolar trill, and I wish i could pronounce it better lol
