minus-squareRedSnt ♾️🦋♂️👓🖥️🐧 ( RedSnt@feddit.dk ) linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoBecause it can be read as “asian-tuntija” and to me “tuntija” sounds a bit like “tortilla” except “tun” in my language meaning “tuna” so it becomes “asian tuna-tilla”. So what I’m saying is just that it’s the spelling that looks a bit weird to me.
