It means they learned it by reading

I remember one of my friend. He is a newbie in learning English. I pity for him because in the class he always bullied by other friends who can speak English better than him. He always mispronounced words. Well, I saw his effort when he wrote down all the translations I taught him. From there, he improved. He only talked to me because he knew I don't make fun of him when he spoke wrong in English. And this actually happened about 2 years ago. So what happened now? The people who bullied him were.... Well we don't know, but I heard they are unemployed, even before the pandemic started. Me and my friend? We able to continue more higher studies now and sometimes being a research assistant and tutor. Karma, isn't it? Before, he asks me what are people talking about in English. Now, he started the conversation in English with tourists, so I just stand beside him I'm proud of him for his efforts. It goes well with the saying 'Never make fun of someone if they mispronounced a word. It means they learned it by reading'. Seems like I have begin storytelling already tonight I should stop now. Stay safe, take care. Picture credit: Google Adie, June 2020

I never make fun of people who mispronounce words. Hey! They actually know the word.

Yup! Just because they mispronounced it doesn't mean they don't know the words. We sometimes do wrong in English too.

Yes , we must never make fun of others when they make a mistake. We must try to help them to improve as nobody is perfect in this world .
