So you would berate a kid, whom many can’t properly pronounce Rs anyways?

If you’ve never heard it pronunced that you, you’ve clearly never been around a single kid.

I didn't say berate. I said correct. I would educate them. How else do you expect them to not be as ignorant?

This might surprise you, but I was a kid once myself and went to public school where I was around lots of other kids. I also have a couple of my own and met lots of other kids as an adult because of my children.

Quit glamorizing ignorance and quit trying to cast anyone as an asshole who might help other people overcome their ignorance.

I'm also going to guess that OP isn't a child who doesn't know the actual word, so your entire premise is a straw-man.

It’s a thing because of kids, language is fluid, shut up and bloviate somewhere else

You could have googled that term and found this out instead of making an ass of yourself in the same amount of time as it took to rant in these two comments.

Kids can’t talk correctly when they are young, you would be correcting a speech impediment which I hope you know how terrible that would make you… its not like every kid wants to say it that way lmfao. Get a grip.
