"Wokeism". Obviously it's a stupid word, only uttered by or hammered into a keyboard by people who'd lose a chess match to someone with late-stage Huntington's. However, the problem I've got is why does it have an "e" in it? I know "ageism" does it too, but that's a freak. I think it's got an "e" in it because it's a word by idiots, for idiots.

How do you say it? I think it's like Shrewsbury, where there's pretty much a 50/50 split on how to say it. I say Berry but I just try to avoid saying Shrewsbury and just mumble something like "Shuzzbury" to avoid having to take a side.

I meant, of course, to say "so maybe it really is just Fazz Ackerley". Now I've had to post about it twice, I will be doubly humiliated when it turns out to be pronounced "Fally" and everyone knew this but me.

They mean the same thing, but whilst shouldn't be used as a noun - you can't "wait around for a whilst". Whilst is formal, mostly obsolete and I would generally avoid it; it's mainly used in slightly pretentious undergraduate essays.

A Minstrel, clearly. I don't see how it could be any other way.

I used to work with a guy who only ever said "crisp", singular. Sitting here, eating a packet of crisp. I love crisp, he would tell me. We sacked him in the end.

'Ng' isn't a sound I readily identify with. It's the preceding vowel that allows me to pronounce it. Although saying these three-letter sounds aloud I can just about hear the ending is similar.

I can't make any sort of 'g' sound in 'length' without making the 'th' sound lispy. I say length as if the 'g' isn't there and you can't tell me that isn't normal.

Do you acknowledge the concept of silent letters?

Either is "correct", in the sense that they're widely-used dialectical variations. To be technical about it, you use the voiced alveolar nasal (n as in new), but the other lad uses the voiced velar nasal (ng as in sing). I think you're trying to use the voiced velar plosive (g as in brag), which is why you're getting caught up.

>>35191

Diphthongs are combined vowel sounds within the same syllable. You will note that "strength" and "length" only contain a single vowel.

I think I've whinged about this before, but when people try do the mockney Lahndahn type of accent in written text (usually it's for an orc or something in a comic), and they phoneticise "like" as "loik". That really pisses me off, because it's only subtly wrong, but it's a fundamental error.

I've just seen someone trying to do the Norf FC meme, so it should quite clearly and obviously be a northern accent, this issue shouldn't even enter the picture, and they still put fucking "loik".

When did people start pronouncing any word that ends is -es, usually plurals like biases, processes, etc, as "eez"? Biyaseez. Prawsuhseez.

Fuckin hate it. I don't know is it's technically correct or not, but it only ever sounds like a deliberate and pretentious affectation because you heard some other cunt say it that way.

I hate the word subtle because the silent 'b' was added later in history to conform to its Latin origins as a deliberate revision of language without also changing how it was pronounced in English.

Do they? Now I'm questioning if I've ever heard an American say "subtle", because I can't even imagine someone saying "sub-tle". Interesting insight into one of English's more curious spellings anyway.

"Sodder" seems to be the standard American pronunciation of "solder", which I find infuriating.
