robotman<p>Of the least important news ever, I once saw the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/johncarter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>johncarter</span></a> movie. </p><p>The line “tharks do not fly” came across as “farts do not fly”. The thark pronunciation of Virginia still has me saying “voor gin ya”. </p><p>I feel this 1st exchange is emblematic of miscommunication that everyone has experienced at some point. From then on, John Carter is just called Virginia. Like many immigrants who historically had their names garbled on Ellis Island. </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/DJrs11fLq14?t=20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/DJrs11fLq14?t=20</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/tharksdonotfly" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tharksdonotfly</span></a></p>
