Ubiquitous

I like the concept of pervasiveness, the sound of the word and the and the Latin origin. There is even a proteine named 'ubiquitin'. It was given the name before scientists understood its function because biochemists found it in almost all the cells they studied. Its function is to 'tag' other proteins that are defective or are no longer necessary for removal and destruction from the cell.

I got a got a lil bit of sunshine...



Oh I like how diarrhea is spelled.

I grew up in Asia, and went to the US for college. My friend who's the same used to pronounce Chipotle as "chi-pot-tall".

And I like how I have a friend named Jesus. First day of class in the US and I'm like... "Jee-sus? Hay-zooz?"

And I always used to pronounce jalapenos and mojito with "ja" and "ji" 'cause I didn't know.

And I always accidentally call papayas as payayas.



And in this Merc Rx, I've taken to telling people "You're Merc Rx-ing me"/"I just Rx-ed myself"/"STHAAAAAPPPPPPPPP 😭😭😭"
