FFT posted:it's not exactly "code-switching" but it's related I developed a slight drawl when I lived in the South, but it only happened when I was speaking stream of conscious, not when I thought about how to pronounce the words I was saying. I think that particular accent being a lot easier on my mild speech impediment helped develop that habit, plosives and certain other sounds are hard for me, so dropping a lot of them altogether, and the prevalence of onglides makes it easier for me to talk that way rather than the more clipped PNW accent I grew up with. My brain was also so broken from stress that I temporarily developed a crippling stutter, for the first and only time in my life, so that might've played a role too.

Sign language is so full of dialect you have to really be on the ball when you first meet someone, and part of this involves using the other person's signs back to them casually to ensure mutual understanding. this has unfortunately bled into a facet of my a personality now whereby I'm extremely quick to mirror an accent or a speech affectation I hear I'll have a slight accent or within an hour speaking to someone and need to deliberately catch myself There probably some psycholinguistics thing going on there

Data Graham posted:It’s one of those things you never think about, like how the V in “have” is voiced except when you’re saying “I have to X”, when it becomes “haff” It's basically impossible to pronounce a voiced and unvoiced consonant together, so you either have to say haff to, have do or have. to . It's like how sometimes the s at the end of the word is actually a z - compare how you would say cats vs. dogs.

It's like how sometimes the s at the end of the word is actually a z - compare how you would say cats vs. dogs. I get what you’re theorizing but I don’t think it’s true. Say “have. to” slowly and carefully enough to voice the V and it won’t sound correct, you’ll sound like a crazy person It is not difficult to say “I have two eggs” Come to think of it though “has to” follows the same pattern

OwlFancier posted:Not the specifics other than I am guessing that thing in the middle needs regular service but necesitates removal of the cylinder head to access. The starter doesn't so much as need regular service, but it's a higher percentage failure point that is, on most sanely designed vehicles, reachable either easily or after the easy removal of a handful of small pieces.

If you think that's bad there are cranes and other pieces of heavy equipment that the only way to get to the starter is either pulling the motor, taking off all the sheet metal and its nine hundred bolts or stuffing yourself into a small hole and poking at the starter bolts blindly with a socket on the end of a couple extensions and a swivel. Oh and the starter weights 60lbs good luck getting it back in without cut up arms and entirely too much cussing.

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:this one always gets me because i know i usually pronounce "thy" with the voiced version but whenever I try to do this comparison I wind up saying them exactly the same. I forget what they call this in linguistics, but its related to why sometimes we pronounce written S as /s/ and sometimes as /z/, since the final syllable often takes the voiced/unvoiced quality of the thing before it Yep it’s easier to make a voiced fricative (consonant involving turbulent airflow) when it’s after a vowel. Try putting a short “uh” sound at the beginning of “thy”.
