OwlFancier posted:Probably because we try to look for words in english that are spelled something like "oer" or whatever, bird does indeed have the sound in it but you never think of it having the sound in it, and you struggle to think of any words that are spelled like they should have the sound in it. Also because the ‘er’ sound like in ‘perfect’ or even better ‘word’ works, too and is easier to visualize because ‘bird’ is already hosed from vowel shifts and linguistic evolution. The way you pronounce bird may actually be better to describe and spell as ‘byrd’, which is equally confusing in modern times. dialhforhero has a new favorite as of 14:24 on Aug 18, 2020 |

You guys like maddening orthography huh? Are we getting mad about people who use accents and diacritics not to indicate pronunciation, but basically as decoration? Explain to me what the gently caress they think they are accomplishing with this

BonHair posted:No it's not. You're trying to explain a set of sounds in several languages with reference to a specific dialect of English. The vowel in bird is close but not exactly the same as any of those sounds. The underlying problem is that most of what ö covers in Swedish, German and Finnish does not occur in English, much like the sounds represented by th in English does not occur in those languages. Wow you must've gone to a really bad uni to be so wrong about this and still have graduated. The fact that Ö sounds vary in no way means that "the vowel sound in RP bird" isn't literally the best and simplest way to let Anglophones know what Ö sounds like. And "a specific dialect of English" is exactly what you want to give people whose native accents can vary vastly a reference point they will, in about 100% of cases, be familiar with - it's called RP and it's the specific dialect you can use in this manner. If someone doesn't know what an automobile is, I can point a normal one out to them and they will know - superficially but well enough - what an automobile is without me needing to point out every kind of automobile there is. 3D Megadoodoo has a new favorite as of 15:04 on Aug 18, 2020 |

DarkSoulsTantrum posted:I can get behind the vinyl revival; the large format makes a good canvas for artwork, liner notes etc and yeah, there’s something about the background hiss that’s appealing, but why the gently caress would anyone want cassettes to come back? It’s portable, easy to copy and gently caress with using analog equipment, and more importantly there’s a sense of romance to making and receiving tapes. The idea of making a mix tape for someone by pressing the record button at just the right time when the song plays on the radio, or syncing up the albums just right to get the songs from the original to the mix, to say nothing of picking out of a neat looking brand of tape and customizing it. Tapes are right at the crossroads of intimacy, self expression and nostalgia.

That might be my dialect loving it up then because bird and word are pronounced the same way. But then dialects also gently caress up trying to describe any sort of pronunciation. You go not to far from me and there's people who will say bird with the vowel sound from the word "air" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndz86gVm71Y OwlFancier has a new favorite as of 15:27 on Aug 18, 2020 |

I've never heard an American pronounce bird and word in a way that didn't rhyme, or pronounce any word that involves the ö sound that was posted in an earlier YouTube. I have heard that sound in English though, it's how Ann Reardon of How to Cook That (and probably other people from Melbourne) pronounces burn

"Received Pronunciation" The queen doesn't actually speak it, because she's far too posh, she speaks some sort of weird horsefucker dialect. Technically RP is just a relatively common southeastern accent but it does sound posh to most of the rest of the country.

I was almost always befuddled by ö until I saw an old Swedish Bible which had it (and ä) written in the old way, namely an o with a little e on top. And that's the sound y'make. A slurred o-e sound.

Incorrect, we simply choose not to ban people until the sale goes through to discourage people having to buy things from the forums. 11-year probations are still very much on the menu.
