Trying to finish my reading for school and then I have to make flashcards. Am sleepy and about to pass out
Doing my assignment on this man called Bersntein who for the longest time I thought was spelled Bernshtein and like.. What were their parents thinking? How do you even say it? BURRS-NN-TEIN. That's such a stupid name you can barely say it. Also I just realized that the website I was looking at mispelled his name. It was meant to be Bernstein. Welp. Edit: In retrospect, I should be the last person to insult someone's name for being hard to say.
It's -stein is a common suffix put on German names, especially Jewish German names. It's pronounced Shtein and means rock or Stone. It shares its origin with Stone.
So.. Emma Stone could've been Emmastein or am I just understanding this wrong? I'mma be real annoying and say *your.
