I really wish Anglophone people would stop complaining about other languages’ pronunciation rules. I saw this when I first moved to Ireland and a bunch of Americans in my programme just complained over and over about Irish on street signs.

Hating a language for its use in the colonialist mission being imposed on Indigenous and enslaved peoples to crush their culture is legit. Complaining because they have lenition or don’t pronounce all consonants is absurd.
