Oh good, I’m not alone! 😂 Huge pet peeve of mine when people write drawn-out words like that and the letters they choose to repeat make no sense whatsoever 😅
To be fair, if I made a hugely obvious social mistake in public, if someone shouted “mistaaaaaake!” I’d probably be annoyed, as JD is in the gif.
If someone pronounced it as the caption describes, I’d probably still be annoyed but refocus on how someone could make that kind of mistakey.
If someone pronounced it as “mis-stake-eh” it probably wouldn’t help in the situation but might actually cheer me up in the face of what would otherwise have been despair.
I know it’s just nit picking, but I can’t stop trying to imagine holding a tone on a silent ‘e’.

Right up there with when people italicize a word for emphasis but it’s clearly not the word that makes sense to emphasize.
Or people that emphasize with quotation marks instead of the asterisks, saying don’t loose your mind or something something
This goes hardddddddddd
Yeah I hate when people do that. Mistak-EEEEEEEEEY!

lol what a tangent this was
Mistakey sounds like something that’s technically a mistake but only a little bit (will incorporate this into my vocabulary).
There are no mistakeys, only little happy accidents.
Oh, I agree. That’s why my alt text differs from the caption.
Worry not, friend, your pedantry exists not in isolation.
