  I have learned the best way to remember how to spell restaurant, for me, is to pronounce the Spanish word for it, “restaurante”.

  If you remove the ‘e’ it sounds the same as it is spelled.

  Here my European brain was thinking the two sets of counting and alphabet meant two counting in two different languages and systems and listing two different alphabets like Cyrillic and Greek…

  I should learn to read things through before jumping to conclusions.

  I read restiront as some word I didn’t know until I read the whole meme outloud to my wife.

  I’ve never understood this meme - restaurant isn’t even a remotely difficult word to spell. I don’t think I’ve genuinely ever seen anyone in the real world past first grade who misspells it.

  Why do we keep regurgitating these weird pop culture opinions with no basis?

  I put this right up there with acting like anyone has ever actually given a shit if another person eats pineapple on pizza or pretending to dislike the word “moist.”

  We don’t have to repeat shit just because we heard somebody else say it.

    Once, while working a blue collar job, I encountered a person who didn’t know the word “citrus”.

    They tried sounding it out: “sigh-truss” is where they landed.

      Mispronuncing words, even misspelling them, especially if they’re new to you, is always entirely understandable.

      But my point isn’t about people misspelling restaurant. My point is about the meme that restaurant is hard to spell. I would never judge a person in real life who struggled to spell it, that’s fine. But that doesn’t make it a hard to spell word, and there are a million actually hard to spell common words we don’t talk about like this. It’s another meaning pop culture regurgitation, and that’s the point I’m making
