I'd probably give them the benefit of the doubt, although I don't like to play games with friendly fire on because I know I'd be that person, and it would somehow be the most intentional looking accident possible.

Rant. In my regional accent, the A sound is different in words like ant and aunt, can and can't, bat and bath, plan and plant. So when it comes to ran and rant, my brain wants them to be pronounced differently too, but even in my region they're supposed to have the same sound. It's rare for me to use the word rant, so when I do, I have to be careful not to embarrass myself by saying it wrong. Probably why I rarely say it.

Just did a quick search, and I'm relieved to see there are other weird people out there like me with the same problem https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/7jw53e/how_do_you_pronounce_the_word_rant/

Humanity needs to unite and bully the aliens. See how those little grey freaks like being abducted and having their cattle mutilated.

The Black Death, I'd have thought.

Life under puritan dictator Oliver Cromwell is probably worth a mention too. From the little bit I know about the time, it was basically this meme

Plastic. You have to pay for them, which is to encourage people to reuse them.

It's not necessary for the patient to be seen while undressing, and it would make them feel very uncomfortable because it's something that's usually only done in private. I guess it also kind of separates the examination from the rest of the appointment, breaks it up for the patient, and helps keep the clothed and unclothed parts detached.
