wait am I the only one who doesn't pronounce are and our the same

Re: juice & ditto

[puphart]

there's a negligible difference for me but at least i say "lawyer" right so

Re: juice & ditto

[racingstripe]

y'all don't count

Re: juice & ditto

[sheepish]

that's discrimination, you'll be hearing from my law-yer

Re: juice & ditto

[norush]

iirc this is an example of a phonemic merger like pin-pen or caught-cot

for me, "our" read on its own is pronounced more similarly to "hour*;" conversely, when 'our' is used in a phrase ("this is our town"), it's pronounced more like "are"

* in northern ireland, this merger is totally complete and "hour" and "are" are pronounced the same

Re: juice & ditto

[puphart]

oh hey that's on point for me

Re: juice & ditto

[norush]

which part exactly i need you to clarify so i know how best to mock you

Re: juice & ditto

[puphart]

it's cool, i've come to terms with my true nature as a Heel

Re: juice & ditto

[norush]

does that make me the face :^)

Re: juice & ditto

[puphart]

yes. you use your short height to your advantage in the ring. your costume is party shorts and a backwards bball cap.

i saw this jacket 3 months ago and all i've thought since is about how fucking bad i want it?????? BUT i don't even know 5% enough of what i feel like i should know about wrestling to wear it without feeling like a phoney. i can't wear things without feeling like i've Earned Them, i get all awful and anxious like someone's going to call me out and i hate it.

like i found this awesome GOAT hat recently but i didn't buy it because i was like "i'm not into hip hop enough i don't want to be called out please don't look at me you might look at me like you disapprove"

but this fucking jacket

Re: juice & ditto

[norush]

ive literally never watched a single wrestling match in my entire life and i'm going to buy this right fucking now bc it's a sickass jacket i'll buy it for you too

Re: juice & ditto

[nothalfplaid]

Look at you giving an educational answer instead of talking shit like kas and alex.

Which way is it pronounced in nothern ireland, like are?

Re: juice & ditto

[racingstripe]

Hey Cheryl one of these days you're gonna need someone to talk shit to you instead of being helpful but you'll have scared me and Kas away.

Re: juice & ditto

[nothalfplaid]

You would come racing back

Re: juice & ditto

[norush]

i said northern irish but really i meant belfast and it sounds like

"arrrrrrrrrrrr"

Re: juice & ditto

[nothalfplaid]

this video says that coke is called juice wtf

Re: juice & ditto

[norush]

yeah i was taken aback by that one but then again lemonade does mean sprite here so sure whatever the whole world is crazy and i just accept it

Re: juice & ditto

[nothalfplaid]

If I said "can I have a juice" and someone handed me coke I would be like "wtf man what fruit did this get squeezed from" and flip the table

Re: juice & ditto

[lilwitchhazel]

I say our the same regardless of context??? wtf.

Side note about Ireland, my Irish coworker said whenever he was spelling stuff on the phone to American's he'd just think 'They're all pirates' so he'd pronounce 'R' correctly

Re: juice & ditto

[nothalfplaid]

I say our the same regardless of context too he's weird
