I admire linguists for their willingness to ditch their theories when they get new data. It's so awesome

could it have anything to do with how they're spelled? like the shape of the letters. Kiki is sharp cause the symbol K is sharp, that's my reasoning

My autism is funny about this because it feels strongly about word texture the same way I feel strongly about physical surface textures.
