ICANs are quite notorious for poking fun at people who mispronounce words, especially the most commonly interchanged I and E.
Case in point:
Ongson, ordering from a fast food chain, slowly and carefully mouthing each word so she won't come off as barok: Miss, pa-order ng isang...Greeled...Buhf.....Muhl.
Ni isa wala man lang tinama. Haha.
Let me translate that for you: Grilled Beef Meal.
But that's not to say we don't laugh at ourselves, too.
Well, to be honest, we laugh at everyone. No one is safe, really. Not even the teachers.
During 2nd Year Math class, a year before Ongson and Lin were transferred to our section:
Ms. Lopez, serious: Today we'll discuss Inteegeers. Blah blah blah.
Ongson and Lin: Hahahahaha!
Ms. Lopez, always with her deer-in-headlights expression, continued on with her discussion, ignoring the giggles she'd hear every time she would mention the word Integer.
After a few minutes, Ongson then raises her hand to ask a question.
Ongson, mockingly: Miss, what's Inteeegeeer again?
Lin: HAHAHA!
By the way, poking fun at phonetically-inept people wasn't the only thing ICANs are known for.
We're also notorious for very poorly holding back our laughters.
Ms. Lopez: What's so fanny?!??
Lin: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
