no one cares when i say it wrong and i'm not the only person I know who says it like this, i pronounce the h to distinguish it from air.
especially in the middle of sentence
I am also Zontas, for those of you wondering.
Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
Like it's ever going to be ambiguous. Humouring you a little bit, in your new situation, how do you distinguish it from "hair"?
Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
context, i might drop the lenghtening on hair

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
You've shown several times before that you either can't transcribe or you can't speak English properly. Take your pick.

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
Just fuck off already. Do you speak an English variety, and I mean either natively or otherwise fluently? Do you even understand the phonology of English varieties overall well? Do you know how to use IPA proficiently, know what it actually represents at a featural level, and know how to recognize the sounds represented by most IPA symbols you would encounter for representing English varieties from hearing them?Umega wrote:I suck.at.speaking.english

If you said no to any of these questions, you have no right to comment here, seriously.
(And I still have not discounted that you're simply a troll either.)

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
The shit you've put into your 'English' transcriptions makes your claim to speak General American highly questionable. And no, you do NOT understand the specific phonologies of major dialects. The fact that you questioned the pharyngealization in TaylorS's rhotic proves that.Umega wrote:Just go fuck yourself if you insist on cursingTravis B. wrote:Just fuck off already.

closer- [kɫ̥oʊsʷɜ˞ˤ]
cuneiform- [cçʉnɨfɔɹʷˤm]
hair- [heɜ˞ˤ]
*her- [hɜ˞ˤ]
heir- [ʔeɜ˞ˤ]
*The only time I really pronounce an /h/ here is when it begins a sentence or it's by itself, or I'm emphasizing the word. It's pretty much dropped in almost all situations. ex. "I saw her" [ʔaɪ sɒɜ˞ˤ].
