I think this is quite a strong example of [ʋ] from the Pwincess Bwide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bY0fdgpISc&spfreload=10 Certainly if I make that sound I think I sound posh. If I make that sound it makes me feel stupid. :mrgreen: I'm pretty sure my /r/ is made with a bilabial articulation rat...

Laura ["lO:r\@] (I don't know if [r\] is the best transcription--for me it has strong labialisation, in fact it seems like most of the obstruction is at the lips; my tongue barely moves from its resting position. But it's not the same kind of labialisation I have in [w]. Compared to [w], my lips pr...

I used to write "imparticular".

Tengo tres perros ahora mismo en casa, pero uno de ellos no es mío, es de mi cuñada.
I have three dogs at home right now, but one of them isn't mine, he's my sister-in-law's.

This is an attempt to transcribes my girlfriend pronounciation. She's a native French speaker and very fluent in Spanish, which reflects itself below. Not exactly sure about the contrasts between [e] or [ɛ] and [o] or [ɔ], so they're approximate. Exact quality of [ʌ] I'm not sure about. discussed [d...

Call me European, but I like the Boston street layout. It's easier on the eye.

Can't say I've ever used the habitual "be"... nor y'all (I've got less of an excuse to use them, being a limey - just wouldn't work with my accent). Brings up vivid images of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air though :) Hmm, didn't realise it's habitual. Never got that impression. Edit: Talking of 2p, I ha...

For me it rhymes with work, Turk, in the conventional way. No /O:/ for me (non-rhotic).

Southern England and I would pronounce them all with /e/ and /z/, although I've never had to use them much.

"Campaing"

I think they weren't a native English speaker (Finnish apparently), but from this I realised that I velarise /n/ because of the dipthong preceding it, which seems a step away from /N/ - either percieving it or speaking it.

Now that the exact problem has been pointed out, it does seem a bit weird. But I don't think I've ever used allege, I mostly stick with accuse. I say keep the change, it would just go extinct with me.

Seems perfectly normal to me.

Your welcome.

(by the way, I had to look up that word, 'velcro tape'. in Dutch we call it 'klittenband', with 'klit' being the name of a certain plant that sticks to your clothes and spreads it seeds in that way. don't look that up though as it's also an informal word for a female body part I'm sure you can gues...

I've seen a few people do the opposite. They apparently expected non-yod-droppers to pronounce the word 'ado' [ə'djuː] and spelled it 'adieu'

Much adieu about nothing, then.
