Social media was alight with opinions on the Sesame Street matter. Twitter user @JaninaLibrarian said Grover's distinctive accent was being misunderstood.
"As much as I want to believe that Grover swore, as somebody who's watched A LOT of @sesamestreet in the last 3 years, I'm very familiar with his speech patterns and he's saying 'sounds like'," she wrote.
User @Skivvies2, however, was unconvinced, because neither the show nor the network have commented.
"It's telling that Sesame Street has not reacted yet," Skivvies tweeted. Meanwhile, @joemasonwrites was simply concerned about Grover's professional future.
"I hope sesame street doesn't fire Grover. One mistake shouldn't define a monster's career," he said.
