basket: crystalline beings are usually slower, more rational thinkers... unless their structural fragility is echo'd by their response triggers...

i have been with the term beef implying beef,

what if cows see colours as evoking a response they don't have?
what if we wave red flags to focus attention, not even realising the physical and mental pain involved in such a constant forced focus.

on the other hand, who cares, cows must just be dumb. unless maybe not seeing colours the same doesn't actually mean seeing the same colour differently.

the fact we use words like beef and pork to distance ourselves from the reality of eating cows and pigs.

Envelope, envelope, envelope. All three mean 'surrounding' something, roughly, but are pronounced differently and I'm annoyed.

Lol, figured out I'm dumb and added the e after envelop. So, less angry with the word, but still some for it still being essentially the same.

Words ending in "-er" that, for some archaic reason, are spelled "-re". That spelling makes sense if you're saying it in French, which ok they're the ones that came up with the words, but you don't pronounce it "kilometre" in English ffs! You don't spell beef "bouef"!
Liter meter theater fiber etc.

Timbre is worse. Not only does it have the "re" ending, but it's pronounced (objectively) wrong!
