PIH-cawn instead of PEE-can for pecan. CAR-mel instead of KARA-mel for caramel. AWN-t instead of ANT for aunt. VAH-se instead of VAY-se for vase.

Which ones are right/wrong could probably start another Civil War

It was mentioned in another comment, but this is a Lenna reference.

I was more used to seeing Clarus the dogcow, so I forgot about Lenna

There are too many people that think rinsing hands with water is enough, or that using a urinal doesn't need hand rinsing much less washing.

Even post-COVID, habits are too hard to break

Japan doesn't have paper towels or air dryers in their bathrooms.

Why?

Because everyone carries a handkerchief to dry their hands. They even sell them at airports when you land.

I've been trying to bring back the handkerchief in the States, but not as many places sell them

Yep, my grandmother went through the Great Depression and didn't eat pork unless it was well done. For example, bacon had to be crispy.

Turns out trichinosis can kill children, and not silently in their sleep.

These days, commercial pork is highly regulated and safer to the point you only have to be cautious with smaller ranches.

Unpasteurized milk has a similar story, but my grandmother swore drinking that as a child was why she never had osteoporosis.

Me? It's 2024, most food lacks nutritional value, so I cook everything to temp and take supplements
