Gregory's Server@dgar I love the ambiguity of that pronunciation guide! Fond memories of explaining style guides to journos (The producer would make a statement like your pronunciation guide and I'd have to go over as the sound guy and quietly explain the actual pronunciation to them without the producer hearing me.) English REALY IS _HARD_

@BunRab @crunchysteve @dgar of course I suppose it doesn't help all the things native speakers say "wrong" (due to regional dialects, etc). A coworker of mine in Hungary asked if she was hearing me correctly because it seemed to her i didn't ever say "Yes" ...she didn't hear the s...Then I realized I say "yep" (or yup) 99.9% of the time 🙂. Welp, gotta go @crunchysteve @dgar my workmate saying words he has only read makes this clear heh. He luckily loves learning the correct way when we work out what he means :bloblaugh: |
@crunchysteve @dgar English /spelling/ is hard. English grammar is very easy and forgiving. Reasonably regular plurals, no case changes except personal pronouns, no gender except third person singular pronouns, no "formal" and "informal" differences in verbs...
