Couple housekeeping things: I created this account about 9 years ago. Haven’t been on here very often in the last four years due to low phone storage and time management. This account became co-owned around the same time bc my cousin wanted to have the perks of having an account without getting in trouble for having social media. About two months ago I let them know I would be taking full ownership and would like it they could make their own account. If they do, I will shamelessly promote their page bc they are incredibly funny and smart and deserve to have their own account that was made by them.
My Argentinean housemate just got a book on proper American accents and I’ve never felt more attacked
like why’s it gotta be so accurate
What’s fascinating to me is realizing that we simply ignore the glottal stop in every word that begins with a vowel when we speak quickly. Like unless you’re enunciating or speaking slowly you simply tell that glottal stop “fuck you” and hook the vowel to the previous consonant sound. Amazing. Glottal stops more like waste of time amirite
