Baby-talk is a universal human phenomenal and almost certainly plays an important role in helping kids learn language.
The implication that not using baby talk somehow unlocks rapid development of language is simply not true.
Idk man. There's this 3yr old girl that's a child of one of our family's friends. She's pretty expressive with her vocabulary. Like i can have full blown conversations with this girl without dumbing much down, and i think that might be due to her parents' pedanticalness.
pedanticness ... OOOOOHHHHH!
Get off my ass. It's a word.
I am only giving you a hard time bc (1) it's funny, all the more so bc (2) you are the police of these matters! :-D
Erm, what can i say. I'm a connoisseur of the archaic.
You don't wanna get on my bad side pal👮😎🔫
Oh no, I'm in trouble now!
you better watch out for the pedantry
I am so sorry to have to be the one to break this to you, but...
Nobody expects the Spanish Pedantry
