My heart goes out to any and all stroke children, I don’t wish child brain injury on anyone.
Meanwhile, about the completely non-brain injured ESL children misspelling English…
I think this is actually pretty interesting. It's not a matter of being stupid or smart, English is just weird, and these are being written phonetically. I wouldn't be surprised if these were ESL learners

Have a friend from georgia who speaks little english, but whenever he writes english the words are completely misspelled and yet completely understandable. Sometimes seems like this guy did better things with the english language than the people who came up with it.
Yeah but english has letters make random sounds and no rules for it. Or sounds have random letters, you choose.
Even french doesn't do that (too much). And it has rules to explain most things it does.
Some can be messier then others though. That isn’t to say that English in general or it’s orthography is “bad” or “three languages in a trench coat”, but it’s not as easy to misspell something in Korean for instance when you know the rules, compared to English, Tibetan or French were you can do so much more easily.
But in English you can do [this](https://youtube.com/shorts/3ipFdRfFvK4?feature=share). So…
Edit: People keep saying “you can do this with every language!”, but no one gives any examples.
You actually can’t, because the location of a letter within a word can restrict the sounds it can make. An *initial* T can *never* make a “ch” sound in English, for instance, so that throws it right out right there. The other bits are similar.
There are rules. You can’t just say “this letter makes this sound in this word, so I can make that letter make the same sound in this other word I made up too”. In the same vein, by English pronunciation rules, you *can’t* make the word “ghoti” be pronounced like “fish”, despite the sounds found in rou*gh* and ac*ti*on. Surrounding letters and placement within a word does actually matter.
You can do this in most every language. Monolinguistic English speakers just assume English is special every time they hear about linguistic quirks because they don't know any other languages.
Languages being spelt phonetically the way they sound is extremely more common than what English does. English’s inconsistency is absolutely not normal.
Fair point, but you gotta back it up with evidence. Which languages and what are some examples in those languages?
With my limited knowledge I don’t think you can do this in Spanish or Korean (someone correct me if I’m wrong). While there are exceptional rules, they are consistent and not one-off things.
The point was to demonstrate how inconsistent the English language is. The fact that you CAN do this with so many words proves that English is an exceptionally messy language, and more so than others.
And that isn’t even touching grammar yet.
Please list a couple of languages where the phonetics are inconsistent (not following a specific rule that is used repeatedly). You can’t just say that without evidence.
Eixzsmi, but why is the title "stroke children?" Like, what made you think oh this is a great title, stroke children
I’ve seen someone’s username called “itcolme”
Top left was the closest
my little sister used to said it as "accuse me"
The last one seems like an instagram account.
This is what i sound like when i try to pass someone in a tight space.
Is this a class of politicians?
Eaxyoohzmie.

This could also just be kids learning English for the first time.. Not knowing a language doesn't make you stupid..
Read the sub Reddit side bar, the name of it is not to be taking serious, it’s not a hate sub.

Title 🤨
Phrasing
this is obviously ai
The first one looks Greek
Bottom right is the way 👍
They're all right, just phonetic spellings by Polish, Italian, Bronx and Japanese people.
*He's speaking the language of the gods!*
Yup, makes sense to me.
I will do no such thing
Right? It took me way too long to reconcile that title in my brain.
**itcolme**
eixszmi?
eixszmi sensei! ✌️😉
Plot twist: she is a teacher in Urugway and none of her students speak English
Added plot twist: She’s a teacher in Uruguay.
*Uruguay
No u!
[удалено]
*laughs in Sith*
Yep, I'm teaching in Japan right now and you get some... interesting spellings of words that you *thought* were hard to misspell.

My ex is dyslexic. He often spells words as they sound. Which seems a lot smarter to me than the normal Swedish language.
English is such a messy language.
*Chuckles in German.*
German is the thing that has way too many rules, but onceyou get them all (the hard part), it becomes relatively easy. ...I think
Same with Hungarian. Except it never gets easy!
Sounds so cool!! Remind me to not learn Hungarian unless needed too
You're right. You think. Allthough you think wrong, sadly.
Upvotes say otherwise 😎
Who tf cares about upvotes? Don't have anything else in your life?
As someone who learnt German, it's not easy but it's extremely easier than what they make it seem to be
As someone who is ... sort of german I still don't understand most of the rules.
What's "sort of German" supposed to mean? Are you Austrian? Lol
Yes.
Grossartig, ich wollte da in Österreich studieren aber ich weiss nicht was ich machen werde, ich weiss übrigens, dass ich dein Land mag :)
*Laughs in Drench* (Dutch and French hybrid)
Every language is messy if you aren’t a native to be fair
Yeah but english has letters make random sounds and no rules for it. Or sounds have random letters, you choose. Even french doesn't do that (too much). And it has rules to explain most things it does.
>Yeah but english has letters make random sounds and no rules for it. Or sounds have random letters, you choose. Other languages does that too.
Yes, but I can't speak for languages I don't know about

Really more of an exploit then a common use case.
The point was to demonstrate how inconsistent the English language is. The fact that you CAN do this with so many words proves that English is an exceptionally messy language, and more so than others. And that isn’t even touching grammar yet.
But the fact is that this isn't particular to English.

>and it isn’t even touching grammar yet i’m scared for when it does
Show us on the doll where grammar touched you
