Obnoxious, but also NOT correct. As another poster pointed out baby talk does serve a purpose in language development, and is a pretty universal part of child rearing. It’s not some recent cultural phenomenon that’s holding people bad from their full potential (or whatever BS this person is trying to imply). Using big words or skipping the baby talk stage doesn’t lead to more rapid or better development.

Correct but obviously exaggerating. I’d love to hear his not-quite-2-year-old daughter “using” 4-syllable words 🙄

I’m not a wordologist. Do words become harder to say when they’re longer? I mean, alalalalalong has 6 syllables.

Longer words are harder for children to get correct at first.

most people seem to be unable to pronounce anything longer than the word “pronounce”.

I mean, California, and other states, are 4 syllable words.
peto@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Can push California to 5 syllables if you really want to.

Are you attacking my cultural heritage of slurring words like a drunk ferret?

Yep. Maybe the sister’s named Elizabeth (and they obviously didn’t accept any nicknames)
