What happens to children who use the wrong words when just learning to talk? the giver

They are punished. Asher used to confuse his words when he was a toddler, and the community responded by beating him.

Explanation:

When Asher was three years old he confused the words “snack” and “smack.” One day he accidentally asked for a “smack” instead of a “snack” The other Threes, including Jonas, had laughed nervously. "Snack!...You meant snack, Asher!" But the mistake had been made. precision of language was one of the most important tasks of small children. Asher had asked for a smack. (Ch. 7)

So they smacked him. And it continued until the poor boy stopped talking.

Hope it helps :)

moon-letters were a method of writing invented by the dwarves. moon-letters were ordinary runes, but written in such a way that they could only be read when the light of the moon shone behind the writing. some moon-letters could be read by any moonlight, but it was possible to make the writing even more secret. more sophisticated moon-letters could only be read by the light of the same shape of moon, or at the same time of year, as when they were written. hope this !
