      All of those grammatical mistakes are tearing me apart! :sad:
      I see two semicolons that should be colons. Otherwise, the grammar is correct, though use of passive voice in the last sentence grates a bit.

      I couldn't pronounce quinoa until around a year ago. I pronounced it "quin-oa" and it's pronounced "keen-wa". Does that mean that it wasn't healthy for me until I learned how to pronounce it?


      No.

      This was the word I was going to say! Good ole quinoa!!

      science is a really annoying language to speak and write in...

      So that means there are a TON of people who wouldn't eat any kind of ethnic food. Don't think this makes much sense.

      Upon further review in a closed session, we have found that this rule is discriminatory against those with speech impediments as well as those who are mute or deaf.

      problem: if you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't consume it

      solution: expand your vocabulary. buy a dictionary. read more books.

      ^so much this.

      Dihydrogen monoxide.

      It's very dangerous. It's in everything. It's in OUR BODIES. *shudders*

      You ought to stop consuming it. IMMEDIATELY. And who can pronounce that, anyways?

      (Well, you can call it water. I'll stick to making alarmist posts about chemical sounding names and how awful those things are.)

      :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

      In your example, I believe your first item is found and extracted from fruit and your second is commonly recommended by dentists to aid against cavities.

      ha ha I was pronouncing is Quin-No-Ah for years til someone told me.

      Yeah, I was telling my cousin Melissa (RIP) that I wanted to try it in a recipe and she was like "What? I've never heard of that." I spelled it for her and she started laughing at me. LOL! God, I miss that woman. If it hadn't been for her, I'd still be pronouncing it wrong.

      'Dihydrogen monoxide.'

      The name means nothing.

      'Live badgers' - easy to pronounce, probably shouldn't eat.

      It's hydrogen oxide dude.

      Are you saying thin people are illiterate? Because that's what I read. But I'm getting thinner so I may not have read it correctly. Wait..what?

      Nope. 2 Hydrogen, 1 oxygen = Dihydrogen monoxide

      Lol... what if I told you hydroxybutanedioic acid gave apples their taste...

      Alpha-Linolenic-Acid, Asparagine, D-Categin, Isoqurctrin, Hyperoside, Ferulic-Acid, Farnesene, Neoxathin, Phosphatidyl-Choline, Reynoutrin, Sinapic-Acid, Caffeic-Acid, Chlorogenic-Acid, P-Hydroxy-Benzoic-Acid, P-Coumaric-Acid, Avicularin, Lutein, Quercitin, Rutin, Ursolic-Acid, Protocatechuic-Acid


      These are all a bit hard to pronounce.

      These are the chemical compounds that comprise the apple sitting in front of me. Oh noes, must avoid it now.
