Noah's not giving a lecture or a scientific dissertation: he's talking about his opinions on loving dark souls. If you honestly think that mispronouncing a word means his entire opinion on a video game series isn't worth listening to then... uh, well soldier on I guess. But ngl it kinda makes you come off as a insufferable.

e. Like if you never had any interest in watching the video then fine whatever, but if you were going to watch but are now not going to because the word "attribute" is mispronounced a handful of times then lol.

i am the ultimate fromsoft psycho but i respect myself enough not to subject myself to 5 hours of someone who expects the audience to exchange a huge chunk of their time for a persuasive essay that went unedited. with all due respect, my life will remain the same amount of enriched with or without the vid lol. its empty calories. im not being deprived (<----- joke of dark soul) of anything but something to pump in my ears while i work

if you don't already know a word is a homograph, there's nothing inherent in it that would lead you to believe that it is

e: "attribute" is way less common than "read", it is far more likely for someone to have only ever heard one version of it

lol yeah im sures hes never encountered it his entire life. give me a break. it does rule that everyone thinks so little of this guy that theyre like "well what if he was a feral child"

Incorrect, you can always Edit Through It™ Clearly what all video creators should do is cut together their script via audio samples from "how to pronounce" videos so that they can be assured every single word said is spoken with 100% accuracy, as not to offend the audience.

i also don't watch videos where people talk in a way that grates me but i also wouldn't suggest anyone alter their production pipeline to suit my neuroses. the video is already at 350k or something so i don't think anyone would be sweating the dozens they're missing from pronunciation snafus

What if his friend also pronounces it that way? Or doesn't but doesn't pick up on that issue because they're not all that bent out of shape by bad pronunciation?

If you're saying Noah needs a professional editor then that's probably never happening given his style so yeah, stay away from his videos I guess if it's really that much of a deal breaker to you. I just find it very odd that something so small is the make or break between investing something as large as five hours of your time.

Yes, my point is that if you're not going to watch the five hour video anyway then that's fine! But if you were going to watch it and now plan to not because one word is said incorrectly like a half dozen times throughout, then that's dumb.

Look I don't know maybe I'm the nut job. I've worked with ESL people my whole life and have heard every weird as gently caress butchered pronunciation of English under the sun. I also suffer from having been dragged across the US through my formative years and have a result have an awful Frankenstein accent that is part Detroit, part Chicago, Part LA, part Bay Area so I can barely get through a conversation without somebody pointing out how I said a thing weird. I noticed the third or fourth time Noah said "attribute" the noun as you would the verb, thought "huh that's kind odd" and then just ignored it for the rest of the video. Maybe I'm just completely desensitized to this stuff.

If Noah was better at editing his videos we wouldn't have the moment in his big Resident Evil video where he finishes his final thoughts on RE4 and suddenly his dog starts barking like crazy and the recording cuts off just as he starts yelling "Jesus Christ God DAMMIT" so I think his stuff just fine as-is.

If they somehow invent a teleporter personally I would not step inside it. You can make all the ship of thessus/continuity of conciousness arguments you want to me, I believe that if I were to be all at once destroyed and all at once reassembled somewhere else, whatever is at the new location is not "me" as I am now. I'll just wait until they invent the futurama vacuum tubes and uses those for travel.

If you pronounce Mario's name wring you are being an rear end in a top hat on purpose. He said his own name when he introduced himself, why are you deliberately saying it wrong
