Obnoxious, but also NOT correct. As another poster pointed out baby talk does serve a purpose in language development, and is a pretty universal part of child rearing. It’s not some recent cultural phenomenon that’s holding people bad from their full potential (or whatever BS this person is trying to imply). Using big words or skipping the baby talk stage doesn’t lead to more rapid or better development.
Meh, Adam is obnoxious but correct

that was just, like, their opinion, man
A better vocabulary is learned somewhere. Adopting an upbeat tone was always sufficient for me to hold toddlers attention.
The image conflates baby talk and vocabulary. Baby talk is the tone, not the words. So you did it correctly, good vocabulary with an upbeat tone.
very good, sounds legit. This may seem a on sequiter, but are you no longer farting in a maggoty way?
Correct but obviously exaggerating. I’d love to hear his not-quite-2-year-old daughter “using” 4-syllable words 🙄
I’m not a wordologist. Do words become harder to say when they’re longer? I mean, alalalalalong has 6 syllables.

Longer words are harder for children to get right.
But it’s so easy!

…damn, I messed up somewhere.
Bob Marley is that you?
most people seem to be unable to pronounce anything longer than the word “pronounce”.
repeat after me kids! Supercallifragilisticexpiallidocious!
I mean, California, and other states, are 4 syllable words.
Yep. Maybe the sister’s named Elizabeth (and they obviously didn’t accept any nicknames)
Can push California to 5 syllables if you really want to.

Are you attacking my cultural heritage of slurring words like a drunk ferret?
