I have an idea for a guillotine-toilet hybrid. U can give super swirly before beheading or for borderline cases just give them the swirly but make em think you'll behead them too. Covers a lot of bases

This is an interesting one, the 'double L' is in a few Romance languages. I pronounce it like a Y, but it's not the same as a Y, you can feel the tongue doin' some weird stuff near the back, and I can totally understand how it's still an L sound.

If I had two brain cells to rub together, I should have gotten into linguistics. It's fascinating, and a lot of counter-intuitive pronunciation stuff just makes sense to me.
