"Get" is pronounced somewhat close to "yet", so it's a soft "g". And "killing" is pronounced "shilling", so a "soft" "k", as well.

I love memes that are created for one specific purpose and can never be used again. Perfect

Rules as intended vs. Rules as written.

Hard vowels: aouå

Soft vowels: eiyäö

But of course there are endless exceptions. Loan words dont give a shit about the rules.

We make fun of English all the time. In both senses.
