I can testify to the severity of the situation. The glory of a summer day can be destroyed when a little girl is dying of thirst. Her parents will definitely hear about it. I know mine did.

The mukbang has blown up into a massive internet sensation and no matter what social media platform you're on, you can find people eating on camera. Even more, you can find even more people who are loving every second of it.

Caramel vs Carmel
For a significant portion of my life, I have used the word “carmel” when describing an orange-brown candy produced from the heating of sugar as opposed to the “correct” word often prescribed to me as “caramel”. Despite being aware of this distinction, I never managed to get over my “non-standard” pronunciation, and I still continue to use “carmel” to this day due to what was embedded so long ago. There have been numerous occasions that I can recount to my usage being met with a patronizing “correction” as if I had committed a crime. Even as I type this piece, the auto-correct function of this program is insistent to ameliorate my usage every time I type out “carmel”. However, after being presented with a new perspective on language variation in this class, I began to really question the true necessity of emphasizing this difference.
