I have learned the best way to remember how to spell restaurant, for me, is to pronounce the Spanish word for it, "restaurante".

If you remove the 'e' it sounds the same as it is spelled.

2 sets of alphabets

That's not an alphabet but sure, why not

Dog, cat, uuhhh, big dog, no I think I already said that, uh... dog?

Good work, time to reward myself with 2 hours of sponsored YouTube videos

Here my European brain was thinking the two sets of counting and alphabet meant two counting in two different languages and systems and listing two different alphabets like Cyrillic and Greek...

I should learn to read things through before jumping to conclusions.

I read restiront as some word I didn't know until I read the whole meme outloud to my wife.

I've never understood this meme - restaurant isn't even a remotely difficult word to spell. I don't think I've genuinely ever seen anyone in the real world past first grade who misspells it.

Why do we keep regurgitating these weird pop culture opinions with no basis?

I put this right up there with acting like anyone has ever actually given a shit if another person eats pineapple on pizza or pretending to dislike the word "moist."

We don't have to repeat shit just because we heard somebody else say it.

Once, while working a blue collar job, I encountered a person who didn't know the word "citrus".

They tried sounding it out: "sigh-truss" is where they landed.
