lies reblogged
Auli’i Cravalho corrected their [paparazzi] pronunciation of her name on the Oscars Red Carpet 2017.
Shoutout to @masha-russia for explaining to me what they actually said! *starts singing nobody’s perfect*
#a sad aspect of Tumblr memetic propagation#is that the original miscaptioned gifset#cannot be retrieved or corrected#at least not if people continually reblog it#so#anyway#just putting it out there#that she didn't say 'you were told'#she said#you were close#which honestly makes a lot more sense#but if you go through the notes#there are literally tens of thousands of people#reblogging the original incorrectly captioned version#in order to make the SAME CORRECTION TO IT#it's like Lakoff's Don't Think of an Elephant#all that well-intentioned effort duplicated#while actually making the problem worse
