What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
I was constantly moving between countries growing up, so I second guess my pronunciation of every other word. Pairs great with my general social anxieties.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

You just say "worrrdd" slowly and people will guess you are saying "world" based on the context of the sentence.

Does the phrase "left on the editing room floor" even mean anything anymore in a world where most stuff is digital? "Deleted from the editing computer" doesn't have the same ring to it.

"Uploaded to Vimeo and emailed to the producers as evidence the director has a soft skull" is the modern equivalent

"world" is the most anxiety causing word for my esl mouth. Do I roll the r? Is the l silent? Where is my tongue supposed to be in???
there's a lot of issues with r's in general, because there are a lot of ways to make the r sound that are "allophonic" in some languages (meaning native speakers "hear" them as the same sound, even though they're actually distinct sounds) but aren't in other languages

you definitely don't roll the r in "world", it's not a trill

in general american english the or part is a "rhotacized open-mid central unrounded vowel".... mmm actually this probably isn't going to be very helpful

okay, so
one of the main tricky things is what's called "retroflex", which is when the tip of your tongue is pointing backwards in your mouth. some people are going to naturally do this to form both their r's and l's, some people are not going to naturally do it with either r's or l's, and some people are going to do it with one sound and not the other, and that might be what trips you up. it's hard to move from one to the other- you kind of have to futz a bit and trust that it'll "sound right" even if it's not the natural way you would form one of the sounds
if you can move your tongue so that it's near (but not touching (and not close enough to be vibrating with the passage of air)) the middle of the roof of your mouth, with your lips relaxed and open, that's the r we're looking for. you can do this with the tip of your tongue but the middle is probably better
and the l is having your tongue touch the front of the roof of your mouth (but never completely obstructing airflow), and the tricky bit there is that in some languages you don't normally move the tongue forward and downward when you do that, you move it upward and backward. for "world" you have to move it forward and down so it can flow naturally out of the r sound
if you can move from the first position to the second positive in one smooth motion, that's how americans pronounce the rl part
and from there it's a pretty ordinary d sound (tongue goes in the same place as l but the tongue completely obstructs airflow for a moment)
(optionally, parts of america add a schwa between the r and l to make it easier to pronounce. worəld. it sounds kind of goofy, like paul lynde or dog from catdog, but it's common enough to be valid)

if it's british english you want, that's actually insanely easy, they just don't pronounce the r at all. they're just dragging out the vowel sound for slightly longer. :shrug:

As someone from Philly, the gorgeous, friendly and immaculately clean city of brotherly love, I grew up pronouncing every word by substituting each vowel with a hard “a”, as god and Ben Franklin intended.

The true pronunciation of “stalker” is staahl-ker

Did he rape her though? He cleansed her mind of Farouk's influence then later that night they banged.
I know the Incredibles touched on superhero liability and insurance, but a super hero Law and Order would be interesting.

the text of the show says he raped her , the characters say and act as tho david is a dangerous rapist, the plot of the third season is david doing time travel to prevent having become a rapist.
