She'd admitted to lying about all sorts of things, so why not this? I'll never understand why known, admitted liars act shocked when people don't believe them.People keep saying she speaks like a 12 year old, but a 12 year old who is an avid reader, as she claims to be, even of just 'on-level' middle school books is not going to sound like an idiot the way Amber does at times. She stumbles over words that she shouldn't. She mixes up idioms and colloquialisms like a non-native English speaker who grew up speaking something else in another culture. The kids who read R. L. Stine books growing up or read adolescent books now, would not make some of the mistakes that she makes. How many 12 year old can't easily pronounce the word 'disrespectful', that's a mistake a very small child would make, 'dispekful'. Or can't articulate themselves enough that they cram together, 'smiling* with air' for an explanation or having to, 'remember herself to' rather than, 'remind herself to'. Very rudimentary speech. She looked at a package that said, 'Ramen Fury' and said, 'Ramen FURRY'. She doesn't get basic cultural references. How does one go 30 years without hearing of Allah? That's not an obscure reference, especially for someone who lived through 9/11 and all the talk of Islam on every news station and in every news publication, let alone the innocuous references to religion in pop culture. Her Trump dig in the previous video was expected, because you know if pressed about that answer, she would not be able to come up with a solid reason for wanting to stick glass up his @ss - she just knows that's the 'in' thing to say.
Part (most) of her problem is the personality disorder, which makes it so hard for her to take correction. Remember how she tried to die on that hill about, 'with fierce'? or 'Oh no, this hair product is great for my face.' She tends toward this response,
rather than going, 'Ohh, I see. Thanks' and working on it.
I think you make some good points here, but I disagree to an extent. I actually think some of Ambers issues with phrases and pronunciation can actually be BECAUSE she is a reader. There has been some correlations done between kids and reading. Studies have shown that some kids who read a lot gain word function and have a larger vocabulary but can fail when it comes to turning that into real like usage. You can read and learn those functionally but you aren't necessarily going to learn how to pronounce them. We even see this built into characters in film and TV at times. I often wonder when she speaks and stumbles over her words if she is trying to make an attempt to sound smarter or more worldly but simply fails.
Its not like she surrounds herself with intelligent people, and the kind of people she surrounds herself with are just as likely to mispronounce things as often as she is, so she cannot learn from others. Her talking to the camera might even be the bulk of the talking she does. Where is she going to learn or even notice she is wrong? Because of us "haters"? If anything I think that's why she digs in, like the youtubers who turn their common mispronounced words into a joke.
Like you I do find her lack or world knowledge as a supposed reader rather sad, but I am not surprised. I doubt she ever had anyone as an adult to guide her, and if she just picks up radom popular or well marketed books with no real attempt to branch out what is she going to learn? We've all met that person who ONLY reads a certain subset of books (like vampires, or romance, or sci-fi) and I'd assume her interests are similarly narrow. If she does in fact read to escape she isn't going to pick up a memoir or any non fiction book and she sure as hell doesn't strike me as someone who'd read the news.
