  4. 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

  5. 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.
