>inb4 it's actually pronounced "jail" but spelt "gaol" because that's how things were back in Victorian times - unintuitive and needlessly elaborated
>inb4 trannime

Kek, autocorrect doesn't know the word gaol and automatically turns it into goal.

I used to say go-eth and got mogged one day when someone correctly pronounced Goethe, and I haven't left the house for about 10 years now because of it.

I used to pronounce the name Gouald from Stargate the same way as gaol. They are the jailed, I'd think, as I mindlessly consumed my third-rate goyslop. I now prefer it that way and consider that canon.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/origin-of-never-mind-nevermind-and-nvm
>Never mind is used as a conjunction to mean "let alone" and, imperatively, to suggest disregard—for example, "Never mind him" or "Never mind, I'll do it." The single-word or closed form nevermind is a noun meaning "concern" and is seen in the example "pay him no nevermind."
This one annoys me.
