[@axiomaddict]

2 things; From a backstory perspective, all these guys would’ve been raised by non-native speakers and Carmine was likely an autodidact. Their linguistic entanglements meant they had to go to work before they finished their educations. I was raised by a mom non-native speaker and she constantly “malapropiszed” all over the place!

[@RustyPetterson]

"Carmine was likely an autodidact" - yeah, I always thought that about him. It seems like he reads a lot, but without any education or mingling with actually intelligent people, he never really figures out how to pronounce things.

[@bilinguru]

Hahaha. I just rewatched the entire series. Pure genius. "Don't get all penisary around her Volvo" is classic line. But every time little Carmine is in a scene, my ears prick up, because I know he's going to be dropping at least one linguistic gem. The master of the fox pass (faux pas)
