Everyone seems to have a view

Look, we all remember the dress right? That was pretty big. Your mate talked to you about that. Your mum talked to you about that. Your nan talked to you about that. It got talked about a lot by people across the world. A lot of shit was chat. Well, I regret to inform you that we could now be looking at something of similar proportions again, judging by my Whatapp convo history tonight at least. Let me explain. See, in an audio clip recently uploaded to Twitter you can hear a male operator saying one word - but it's not just one word, because some people think it is one of two. 'Laurel' or 'Yanny'. That's one word being spoken but with two interpretations. Sheer madness. Listen then pick a side, here: https://twitter.com/cloecouture/status/996218489831473152?s=12 “I hear ‘Yanny.’ The sound isn’t even close to ‘Laurel’…I do not hear the ‘r,'” one person tweeted. “Laurel wtf,” another replied. And the debate only escalated from there. https://twitter.com/imlexyrose/status/996388053684908033 https://twitter.com/ashtatbarr/status/996438036765446146 https://twitter.com/RyanHendo1875/status/996459440634253313 https://twitter.com/Noahham/status/996407726157819904 https://twitter.com/TayCartt/status/996248732181192704 https://twitter.com/Kiara_monet97/status/996242693113118721   https://twitter.com/hazzasxinfinity/status/996248493441388544 There is division across the country. This is Brexit all over again. God save us all.
