papalonian @lemmy.world Why the random K's?

It's the tongue speaking.
3 0 Replypapalonian @lemmy.world That was my first guess, but when I sounded out the words as spelled it didn't sound very... tongue-y. Maybe I'm not hearing it right.
Edit: you don't even use your tongue to make the K sound 🤔

You do use it. You need to press your tongue to the roof of your mouth to make a k sound.
This happens close to the back of your mouth where the molars are…
2 0 Replypapalonian @lemmy.world Huh, fair enough.
I still don't associate the tongue with a K sound 😅 a lisp I feel would make more sense

I almost think I do!
...And the comic is more about the character being lispy.1 0 Replypapalonian @lemmy.world Someone else pointed out the use of the tongue for the K sound.
I used to have a lisp that I took speech therapy for, it definitely didn't sound like I was putting K in everything, but maybe the artist hears it differently than I do
