A balding man with glasses, shown in profile, faces a woman with dark hair, round glasses, and a green shirt who has raised one hand emphatically. She says, "Technically, if you go by the International Phonetic Alphabet symbols, the 'ea' there is pronounced 'i'." A caption beneath reads, "Linguistic Fun Fact: There IS an i in team." The joke flips the cliche "there's no i in team" by noting the vowel sound in 'team' is phonetically an 'i'. Votey: a hand-lettered note adds, "However, there is no i in I."
