@blakeyrat You should help us by proposing some discussion topics about your shirt.
Wait, I thought of one: shouldn't that dinosaur have some feathers? I don't like scientifically inaccurate shirts.

when I'm confused by something
This is expected; it's why we teach children to read by having them sound things out aloud, so that they have that tool later in life when something is confusing or a word is new.
It would be even more helpful if our language had diacritics so that pronunciation was predictable and consistent.

NONE OF THIS DISCUSSION IS ABOUT MY SHIRT.
Wait, you own one of those? I'm jealous now.

@Yamikuronue said in Shirt:
@error It seems common to not notice meter issues or homophone puns until spoken aloud, yeah.
Maybe I'm the odd one out here, then.
I have an always-on grammar filter in my head, too, probably from going to Catholic school.

Glad I am not the only one
Like the Doctor with the 2Dis, sometimes I wonder why I bother.

@Polygeekery "Now"?

Are you complaining about it being off-topic?
I'm asking for a friend.

I'm altering the topic. Pray I don't alter it further.
That's not in your idiom. Are you sure you're not just deleting things?

Crazy motherfuckers.
Pretty sure I saw that in a slide deck that MS showed us a while back about the Redstone (aka Anniversary) release.

@dcon It's even an emoticon in skype. It's from around the win10 release.

I'm kind of weird /post, when I read things the mental narrator is "off" by default. When I read e.g. poetry, I can choose to hear the voice in my head (so not aphantasia), but unless I'm aware that some written text is intended to be "heard", I will usually not hear it. I think I read faster as a result.
Problem is (for me) automatically assigned voice parameters may end up not quite matching expectations, so if I ever meet any TDWTFers IRL I will be like, "Wow, you don't sound the way I imagined."
"c shell" was a pun;
and "gif" is apparently an ongoing pronunciation war topic.

But does he read
writewell?FTFY.
I just noticed now!
Never heard the term "c shell" until this thread, so (to me) that's not very impressive...
It's even an emoticon in skype
Because.... everyone uses Skype?
Do I win a thing?

@anonymous234 said in Shirt:
Shouldn't that dinosaur have some feathers?It's not entirely certain. It probably had some but it almost certainly wasn't fully feathered. We have feathered fossils of tyrannoaurs, but not this one, and we also have scaly skin impressions from large tyrannosaurs including T. rex. It probably was partly feathered, or it might have had feathers as a juvenile that were lost in later life.

@Polygeekery said in Shirt:
The result of this is that I'm often completely oblivious to puns. For instance, it was years before I realized that "c shell" was a pun; I only realized it when I was telling my coworker about it, and I heard myself say it aloud. I had this "ohhh c shell sea shell" moment in the middle of talking about it.
@Yamikuronue said in Shirt:

Yeah, I do the exact same thing. In fact...I just got the "c shell" thing as I read this...
Fucking hell I just noticed now!
ssh! Don't tell anyone.
