Thats the ONE thing that spanish has it waaaay easier, we just read what its written, its super simple.
:P
I still can't figure out the phonetic difference between Si and Sí. How do you put an accent on something that has only one syllable?
You just do, its like a small line instead of a dot.
But seriously, its hard to explain, its like it goes up when accented and goes down when its not, if that makes any sense, or imagine the i in the accented one being in CAPS!, you put some strenght into it.
FANTOMAS on
Yes, with a quick verbal "boom." You take a man's peko, you deny him his dab, all that is left is to rise up and tear down the walls of Jericho with a ".....not!" -TexiKen
Sara Hinesley is your typical 10-year-old girl, but this resilient girl is overcoming obstacles with a smile.
Sara is a remarkable student who’s proving when it comes to academics, nothing will stop her.
“I like to play, I like to watch TV,” Hinesley said, who recently came to the U.S. from China.
She excels in the classroom at St. John Regional Catholic School in Frederick and she recently won a national handwriting contest that recognized for her excellence in cursive, the Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest.
“I think’s it’s kind of hard — well sometimes easy and sometimes kind of hard — cause you don’t really remember all the letters to write,” Sara said.
All the more remarkable because Sara was born without hands.
“The things I can’t do, I try to figure out the ways I can do it,” she said, ” and try my best to make it work.”
Her sister Veronica wanted to help, so in science class she built an artificial hand for Sara so they could play together.
Sara is an artist too, but nothing stands in her away of her academic goals.
“It’s pretty amazing given the physical disability she has,” said Principal Karen Smith.
The last day of class here is June 13 that’s when Sara will receive her trophy.
“I just try my hardest and put my mind to it and this is what happens,” Sara said.
Also, America pronounces D's with an R after as a J.
Like drought or draft.
I don't know about those two cases, but it just occurred to me that I pronounce "dragon" like Jragghen
In my case, that's kinda intentional with the name.
There's another layer to it, but not gonna post that one openly on the interwebs
its a fetish thing, isnt it? Its probably it.

Im not too concerned with weird prononciation, with the single exception of "nuclear", I dont care if the Queen speaks like that, if you say "nucUlear" you are wrong, and will always be.

I have an acquaintance who pronounces caught as "caw-cht" which drives me crazy.
Watched a planet Earth or blue planet documentary where the narrator kept pronouncing "glacier" as "glassy ear" where I'm used to "glay sure"
Yeah, Lara Croft does this in Rise of the Tomb Raider and I had to actually think about what she said for a second.
The Discworld novels have some puns based on geyser/geezer, and it took me years to realize what the joke was supposed to be. Plus, I think a couple of them were using "geyser" to refer to water heaters and not the natural feature.

Even though there's a new thread, I'm going to slip this in here as it's a direct response.
One of the books in this series uses the line "Out there it's the law, but here we follow the lore," or something similar.
This took me forever to figure out that they're supposed to be homophones, as the character has a thick rural English accent but it's almost never mentioned throughout the series.

Not anywhere useful, usually
I'd love a proper pan regional map but the work involved would be insane

I've never heard anyone pronounce issue "iss-you".
I refer you to the earlier posted lion poem.
Also, like, passion is "pashun", fissure is "fisher", tissue is "tishoo". So I don't think that's right at all.
Also also I've always pronounced glacier as either "glassy-er" or "glace-yer" depending on my mood

Well, except for silent h's as the first letter of a word.
You mean like herbs?
No, I haven't been waiting all this time for the opportunity to post this clip.
Were there any pengwings on this glacier?
My company’s home office is in London. We have calls about various “iss-yous” all the time.

Oh yeah? And what sound does "H" make in Spanish?
We treated that with the respect, dignity, and above all restraint that it deserved.
It's common in a particular posh Australian dialect, I dunno where they got it from though

This is really gross in a lot of ways, man.
Retaliate by saying that a clerk will add it to the schedule. If you do it right, you can actually hear their soul die a little.

In the absence of additional evidence, we a forced to conclude that it is.

Fishyer, tishyou.
