hm. poll. bc a streamer i watch mentioned "getting dressed" to spend all day at home playing a video game

(NOTE: for the purposes of this poll "real clothes"=whatever u would wear outside normally, pajamas=whatever ur comfy sleep clothes are. could be actual fancii pajamas could be boxers and a big shirt i dont care. if you sleep naked idk man)

this meme has done wonders for my mental health lately every time i start feeling cringe for talking too much abt my interests i just think. buy silence permanently. if people arent gonna pay me to shut up im going to just keep on saying words <3 this is a threat

READING COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS

  1. why might op have said that she wanted to choose a word with "more 'reasonable' mispronounciations"? what could the quotes around "reasonable" indicate? why did she say mispronunciations instead of pronounciations?
  2. op writes that the post "backfired" and now "half the people on this post think i actually pronounce it like this." what might the word "backfired" mean in this context?
  3. what words could "self-own" sound similar to, and how could that relate to the rest of the post?
