That's really now how an inferiority complex works, my brev.

Wagner is also pronounced as a W, not a V. Yeah, it's a weird British corruption. Pronouncing the W as a V is common in Slavic languages, not Germanic languages.

"An inferiority complex is a lack of self-worth, a doubt and uncertainty, and feelings of not measuring up to standards. It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extreme asocial behavior."

So you're saying that my lack of self-worth is the reason I've written a novel, written and directed a short film, get consistently high marks in academic pursuits and have recorded and released a solo EP? Sweet. Cheers dude, I'd never looked at it that way. Makes a lot of sense.

I'm going to have to tell people about this V/W thing though, it's something that almost every person I know believes

Pretty sure my dad does it, and he lived in ****ing Germany and learnt German, for christ's sake

Or it has to do with none of those things and it just has to do with the fact that you grew up in an environment that stimulated your creative output?

Maybe, although doesn't that imply you don't think I have an inferiority complex? mmm

The only gig I have lined up is Boris in December, it'd be cool to see the Pixies again but they cost a bit more than most other bands I'd like to see and I'm not much of a fan of their new stuff

Maybe there's some region in Germany where they do pronounce the ''w'' as ''v''. I've never really heard it though. Then, most of my German experience is with Western Germans. Bavarians, Swiss and Austrians for example sound completely different when it comes to accent and pronunciation. Even then I don't recognise the ''w'' as ''v'', it's more like speaking German with a Swedish accent. More likely it has to do with the German w sounding a little bit more like a v than the typical English w and then exaggerating that greatly for comic effect when making a caricature of Germans. That probably started leading it's own life and here we are.

You probably don't have an inferiority complex, just like I don't have a superiority complex. Your tendency for calling a lot of things I do or say as ''pretentious'' or ''having a superiority complex'' is probably because you get called out for that a lot as well, which conflicts with your sense of self as you'd like to be seen as a humble guy and are trying to compensate for it by getting extra plebby when I say something that betrays I have an above average understanding of a certain subject.

Seems it's pretty complex and that it's just as hard for German people to pronounce and understand English as it is for English people to pronounce and understand German

Slay, I mean this with all respect, but have you ever thought that maybe you finding English people mispronouncing European words 'funny' is about as thoughtful and tolerant as an Anglophone laughing at a Japanese person for saying L's more like R's?
