The English language is a funny thing. Well, maybe not so much funny as it is frustrating, if you know what we mean. For some reason we ditched the whole easy and 'phonetic' thing that most other languages stick to quite religiously in favor of some truly bizarre pronunciation rules.
If you're a native English speaker, we're sorry to dump all of this on you. It can be quite disheartening discovering that you haven't even mastered your mother tongue yet, especially if you have dreams of learning another language. You might want to put those Spanish lessons on hold for now!
We bet once you take a look through some of these commonly mispronounced words you're going to feel at least a little bit embarrassed. But don't worry, it really does happen to the best of us! If you really want a good laugh we suggest you check out number 39 immediately.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
