MODERATORS
They're equally distant from myp.
Yet ma is being use by a lot more people than mo to mean my.
'ma' as in 'mama' is the sound used in 'mop', not 'map'
I don't get it 😔
"I ate mop who" sounds like "I ate muh (my) poo"
Lol thanks.
spoiler
"I eat mop who" sounds like "I eat my poo" when you say it fast, I think. But not sure.
No matter how often I repeated it in my head I couldn't get it. Thanks
