How can I convince my insurance that the French removal surgery is needed?

Try being bad at sleeping?

There are a lot of uvular consonants, not just those French "r" sounds. Here's the wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvular_consonant .

Your uvula is that punching bag like thingy in the back of your throat. Sounds made at or near that are called uvular.

Seems odd to me that removing someone's uvula would cure sleep apnea. I would think it would not be so easy. Of course we don't have the whole story here, right?

Weird. I can finally weigh in on something.

It's not exceptionally common, but for some individuals the uvula is big enough or shaped well enough, or the throat small enough, or the opening of the throat after the tongue relaxes becomes small enough, that the uvula can lay over it, and contribute to obstructive sleep apnea!

There are likely other factors, but removing the uvula is just one of the many corrective actions available for surgery to improve sleep apnea!

It's really the only way to be sure, franc-ly.

People experiencing Frenchness can finally receive the help they need!

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

That's okay?

It wouldn't be if you spoke French 🤷

[–] Jiberish@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I guess everything, including life itself, can be surgically removed.

My mother has a pace maker for her tongue against sleep apnea, works like a charm apparently.

Thank fuck the Fr*nch were not effective colonizers.

I'd rather speak the weird amalgamation of 11 different languages, generally known as English.

Wait until you learn hebrew, its a combination of around 18 languages:

Biblical hebrew, Almost all variations of Arabiyu (they are different languages, as they areny mutually inteligable), Yiddish, English, Spanish, Russian Polish, Urdu, Italian, Koine Greek, German, Akkadian, Egyptian/Coptic, and probably other ones i dont know

its cause all the aliyah from all over the world

Its called a kóine language
