Went to ship a package the other day and the guy in the Post Office insisted on trying to pronounce my name. He did pretty great, considering the surprising twists I've heard. Said he takes pride in guessing people's pronounciations, told him he surprised me with his near-perfect guess.

Consonants Need Vowels?

I remember being told that consonants need vowels by one of my elementary school teachers. I remember repeating this to my oldest sister, Lynda, after she had a kid or two.

Lynda said no you don’t need a vowel sound to make a consonant sound. You can just say Boo [as in book] or Foo [as in foot], for the B and F sounds. Notice that I had to use vowels to illustrate my point. But I never caught on to that at the time.

So I remember pre talking with her babies and using what I thought were just consonant sounds to get them to the point where they could almost speak. A couple months later they were speaking.

The short oo sound is the “invisible” vowel in English. It is the u in pull and bull. And the vowel that is between the T and L in cattle and bottle. It may seem invisible at first, but it is definitely there. I don’t blame my sister or me for not realizing it was a vowel, because shows like Electric Company would use this “invisible” vowel to sound out words.

For instance they would say Boo A Doo when sounding out the word Bad. Then they would say the three letter names closer and closer together until magically the oo sound disappeared and they said Bad.

When I realized this, I thought for years that what I was originally told was correct. Consonants need vowels.

That is until I saw mmmm written out one day and I forced myself to think about this. So it became consonants need vowels except m.

Then I thought of a few more. Ssss doesn’t need a vowel. Neither does zzzz. There are also Shhhh and Zhhhh. (If you’re wondering what sound zh is, it’s the g in mirage, the s in leisure. In school I was taught that it was the soft g sound.)

Anyhow, that’s five exceptions to the consonants need vowels rule. Do you have any more?

a weird detail to notice, or a weirdly morbid context to notice this in…

but this is a similarity between letters that i've never noticed before

G or Г and consonant Y?

a guy speaking #NorthAmericanEnglish saying the Russian name of a done

it sounded like it started with Y

but the image showed text starting with Г

Today I learned that English has "ejective consonants", with a click sometimes coming at the end of k, p, and t and caused by a glottal stop. How had I never heard this before! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rP0-MfE4zbA&feature=youtu.be
