...and if you're reading this, you just tried it.

This reminds me of an expression in Spanish

"Todo junto se escribe separado y separado se escribe todo junto"

Which I just discovered is the same on English lol :

"All together is written separately and separately is written all together"

Hyphenated. Non-hypenated. The irony.

In french, "ça touche pas ça touche, ça touche ça touche pas" is a common riddle. You ask the person to guess what "it" is in "'it doesn't touch' touches, 'it touches' doesn't" (of course this doesn't work in English but it does in french due to the usage of 'pas' for 'doesn't'). They may then ask you if various things touch or not. The game may go on for several hours as the guesser tries to guess objects, animals, concepts before they get that it is about whether or not your lips touch.

A common occurence is the guesser gives up, and whatever phrase they use to indicate that is just interpreted as another guess by the riddler: "I give up! -'I give up' touches."

Nor do they touch when saying “together.”

definitely weird, and when I say turtle my lips don't become a turtle. why not??

Aahh. Genius!!

Not like this in Persian! Seperate is jodaa in Persian (جدا), and touch can be translated to tamaas (تماس).

The meaning of words has nothing to do with how they’re formed. Big brain.

Now it'd be cool if Vsauce spawns here explaining how you can't truly touch something.
