I remember in high school, the nuns tried so hard (in vain) to get us to pronounce "twenty" as "twen-tee," not "twunny". The flat midwestern accent is a bitch.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Did not sleep well last night. Between my phone beeping because of low battery(and having to get up to plug it in to charge it) and Nova yowling frequently, I woke up a lot this morning.

I don't pronounce the initial vowels in Aaron and Erin differently, but the o and i are definitely two separate sounds.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That sounds amazing.

msbelle, that sounds delicious.
ltc's teacher sent her a handwritten note congratulating her on finishing the preschool workbook we've been doing at home. Such a wonderful woman.

I did the walk there and Uber back! First Uber in a month, but now I have 4 tomatoes, 4 peppers, 2 zucchini and some Kale.
I pronounce Erin and Aaron differently, but other people in Rochester do not. This is possibly why they ask me if I am Canadian. I also think Kerry and Carrie sound different.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I feel like my mouth is in slightly different positions for Aaron and Erin, but I'm not sure if the sound is different enough to notice.
A voice and articulation class in undergrad taught me to differentiate between pen/pin and ten/tin.
My parents have two robin's nests on their house and have enjoyed sitting on their deck and talking to the robin parents. They're a little upset with the crow that raided the nests right after the chicks hatched.

The first syllable of Aaron and Erin sound the same coming from me, except it is longer when I say Aaron.

Yeah, I maybe think the first syllables are different but I'm pretty sure they're really the same. But the second one is different? Sort of run vs rin?
