I don’t particularly enjoy speaking loudly, but that’s not the purpose of this post.\u00a0 I learned recently that the sound we make when we sneeze – “ah-choo” – is a culturally learned behavior, and it varies between cultures.\u00a0 In the Philippines they say “ha-ching”, and the Japanese say “hakashun”.\u00a0 Deaf people say nothing at all.\u00a0 Amazing.<\/p>\n

One time I sneezed at work, and a coworker told me the person they were on the phone with asked if there was a dog barking in the office.\u00a0 Since then, I tend to change the sound I make when I sneeze just to keep it fun.<\/p>\n
