A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I'm probably still doing it with some word.

If people can correct you then it means they understood it perfectly clear.

Every time I mispronounce a word, people are assholes and make fun of me. Human beings are pieces of shit for so many reasons.
