People share words they inexplicably love, and it's a beautiful way to boost your vocabulary

The couple stood on a street corner, looking at a map.
"How do you even #pronounce that?" he said, gesturing at the screen.
She moved her mouth, experimentally, trying to sound out the letters.
"I think it needs a vowel," she said.
"It needs more than one!"
"Dsfddysknk?" she said, finally.
"Excuse me," he said to a passerby. "We're trying to go here…" He pointed at the screen.
"Darbyshore." He pointed. "It's that way."
After he walked away, they looked at one another.
"Darbyshore?" #wss366

Random Wikipedia #criticism (rant?)...

One of the things that bugs me about (English) #Wikipedia is how aspects of it are controlled by, for lack of a better word, #pedants, without consideration of the actual #readers - without considering the purpose of an encyclopedia.

One example of this is how, when an article features aspects of another language or dialect - for instance, something from Old English, or Arabic - where the reader will not be familiar with how to pronounce something presented transliterated to a modern Latin/English alphabet, or with a word shown in a non-Latin script entirely.

It used to be common in reference works to give a simple #pronunciation key that was at least close to the correct pronunciation, but was easily understood by a normal literate reader. You know; the stuff that looked like "ED-joo-KAY-shun" or "SHEH-joo-ull" or whatever.

Well, that's not good enough for Wikipedia most of the time. Instead, they give the pronunciation in International #Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), so you get stuff like "æɪ" and "aʊ" and "/ɔː/".

These are absolutely more #accurate guides to how a word should sound. And they are absolutely, completely #useless and #uninformative to 99% of people reading the article.

You know who already knows and is completely comfortable reading #IPA?

#Linguists. Students of language.

You know, the people who *already know* how to #pronounce the words. The people who don't actually need it.

#FFS.

Having noticed someone inquiring about classical Chinese bronze inscription characters on Facebook, I therefore recorded a video to illustrate them.

Just #watched a #YouTube video in which the host, a professional speaker, pronounced ‘disparate’ weirdly, as ‘disPARit’, with the middle syllable rhyming with ‘bar’. Usually if the middle syllable is stressed, it rhymes with the vowel in ‘hair’ or ‘very’. Odd.

Another strange error I often hear is people who #pronounce ‘woman’ and ‘women’ with the same first-syllable vowel. #pronunciation #words
