    Hot take, English got it wrong. I’ve never heard a frog make a sound like “ribbit”.

    It’s a real thing. Super common in the Southern US when I was a kid.

      Yeah, that’s the kind of frog sound I’ve always known to be most prominent. I was also wondering just how much the most common species in a region affects the onomatopoeia, along with the language used.
