Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

But that's how c is pronounced in castillian, no? What's pretentious about it?
Pronouncing things as they would be in the language they're actually in is sometimes a faux pas in American culture, I've learned
I've been mocked and had some people outright pretend they don't understand what I'm saying when I pronounce guanábana correctly.
How do the people around you pronounce it? I don't think I'd understand it if it were pronounced differently
This video says it both ways I've heard. The white people around me pronounce it like the one with the union jack (heavy emphasis on the B), the Spanish speakers pronounce it more like the version with the American flag background (ironic). Most of the other pronunciation videos I could find seem to be made by AI voices and mangle the pronunciation in a myriad of ways. This other video has an actual person speaking well (I can't speak to the rest of the content of the video).
