Meh, Adam is obnoxious but correct

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Correct but obviously exaggerating. I'd love to hear his not-quite-2-year-old daughter "using" 4-syllable words πŸ™„

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 right.

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

repeat after me kids! Supercallifragilisticexpiallidocious!

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.

A better vocabulary is learned somewhere. Adopting an upbeat tone was always sufficient for me to hold toddlers attention.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The image conflates baby talk and vocabulary. Baby talk is the tone, not the words. So you did it correctly, good vocabulary with an upbeat tone.

very good, sounds legit. This may seem a on sequiter, but are you no longer farting in a maggoty way?

that was just, like, their opinion, man
