So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, it definitely is. In most cases, T just becomes a flap, particularly between vowels, but in more lax pronunciation, it becomes a full-on voiced interdental stop: "hurting" and "herding" are homophonous to many Americans.

Broomy's bringing the sexy speak...

(Would that I were kidding.)

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Heh. Had I known for certain it was that sort of crowd tonight, I'd have said "intervocalically" rather than "between vowels." ;p

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Reach for your maximum geek and you'll never go wrong here.

What is even happening?

Oh David, if only you'd said, "You'll sweep."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Heh.

Whatever is causing my insomnia hasn't given up yet this morning -- I think I got maybe 4 hours all told, but I'm not =sleepy= despite that. I fear that I'll get to work and it will all hit me there....

Trust my rage

Not to gloat, but I got almost 7 hours of sleep last night!! And, I only fed Ellie twice in the night. Both are things to celebrate around here.

Go Ellie! That's the way to make Mom happy!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Speaking of flapping, I found this PPT on it a while back, and tried my darnedest to understand it, but I think I'd need an American to read it to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

No comment:

Film-makers had to shrink IOAN GRUFFUDD's genitals for the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie - so he wouldn't alarm young cinema-goers.

The Welsh actor plays MR FANTASTIC in the summer blockbuster, and found the character's lycra outfit a little too revealing.

He explains, "I started out wearing a codpiece under the suit.

"Then memos started arriving from the studio that we needed to make it smaller and smaller until I was like Action Man."

move out and draw fire

I love that the URL for that article is "Gruffudd's Shrinking Penis." Clearly the boy's got an amardillo in 'is trousers.
