18:15 This is super interesting! I'm a linguist myself (hobbyist, not professional by any means - it's one of my special interests) and it's really cool to consider/think/learn about!! I'm gonna go check out Ben & David Crystal :]!! pos /gen

fr!! shakespeare is a long running special interest of mine and linguistics are a hyperfixation that's ebbed and flowed so this was hella interesting to me :3

the most interesting thing to me about it is applying it to lil words and phrases such as "argal" from hamlet or "how if 'a will not stand?" from much ado, bc those things are hella confusing to my american castmates now, but if you think about op, "a" probably *did* sound like "he" spoken quickly or something :0
