[@Arkylie]

It's "choo-choo" normal, K(h) for Greek, Sh for French. If I were in charge of spelling reform, that's one of the swaps I'd make -- any word using CH for SH becomes SH unless it creates confusion by either (a) homograph or (b) not easy to figure out the pronunciation from the spelling (unlikely in the case of CH-as-SH, I think). I'd also do something with EA (bead bread break), starting with EAD (when said with "eh") to EDD: hedd bredd tredd stedd instedd reddy alreddy etc. Notably, they're the same length, have no homograph problems (bredd vs. bred), are visually very similar, have *no* difficulty being read by a native speaker, and (as a bonus) are nearly the same Scrabble score. ...I could see using AE for the AY pronunciation: braek staek graet. A little jarring, but not terribly out of keeping with our present system, and very few would have trouble determining the correct vowel sound.

Yes be proud of your language! And for God's sake the last person you ever want to listen to about doing anything correctly is a white American Karen, even if her name is Martha, lol.

[@qwertyTRiG]

T between vowels tends to be voiced (turned into a d) in American English, and turned into a glottal stop in many (not all) varieties of British and Irish English. I'm from Offaly, and would actually pronounce _butter_ with a distinct T sound still. I'd still have the "stop T" at the end of words. (Rachel's English has a good explanation of the stop T.)

[@milili27]

[@mirfjc]

This made me realize I actually carry three different ways of doing a mid-word 't'. My native Yorkshire does the same thing , a glottal stop, although barely.

Wonderful. And the crispness of the pronunciation and enunciation in this video really shows how well Sunn knows his trade as a linguist. He performed that accent better than people who normally speak in that accent. With a great deliberation and concentration I do not doubt.

[@laurelgardner]

I wouldn't say he does British RP better than native speakers, there's a whole different vowel posture that it sounds like he doesn't quite have mastered. I'm not criticizing - I'm sure he could tell you more *about* that posture and its role in language than I could, but mastering it as an actor is a different thing.

[@zak3744]

@@laurelgardner The 'a' in "t-flapping" at 0:15 was *very* tell-tale, in comparison to the rest of the video. I heard it as "t-flopping", which I can't really picture any British accent saying, even the type of very archaic hyper-RP that can have notably unusual vowels. For whatever reason, North American English speakers often seem to struggle with distinguishing typical British vowels in the "a"/"ah"/"o" space. Mixing up, for instance, the "a" vowel (as in trap) and the "o" vowel (as in hot) like in this case. But the "o" is a vowel that North Americans typically lack, so it's not just a case of replacing one's native vowel with the transatlantic equivalent like with many other vowels, N Am Englishes actually have a gap in the vowel space (from the British perspective), or British Englishes have two vowels squashed into the space of one (from the N Am perspective). (The contrasting American "t-flapping" immediately afterwards was notably American, at least to my British ear, in the extended length and slight nasality. Those contrasting features seemed fine, but the actual quality of the supposed British "a" was simply an "o" instead. The historical, posh RP "a" sound is actually more forward than most normal British "a" vowels, halfway to an "e", the same type of variation I'd perceive in a typical N Am "a" sound. Making it an "o" is if anything overshooting in the wrong direction!)

I grew up hating spelling and learning “English”. I spelled phonetically and routinely received poor grades throughout elementary school in that subject.

[@cattfink5036]

We were taught, for 2 of the most formative years, to read and write phonetically. Exclusively. It was a thing they were trying out nationally in the early 90s, but abandoned for other methods evidently. There are a lot of us, even native English speakers, who learned that way. You're not alone. You're just more honest. My older sister is a human book who grew up to be a librarian. I owe my ability to read and write to her. I was lucky. For me, learning to read was playing with kickass big sister.

[@beardoodle9835]

My spouse had the same experience. He is dyslexic, though. But, growing up in the 80s, he had quite a few teachers who tried to insist he was "slow", when in fact he just had a different way of learning. He's an engineer, and has had a very successful career, and has learned not to feel embarrassed about his dyslexia, because it has no bearing on his abilities. He even is open about it at work . Which is a big deal, because when he was younger (like when we met), he was too embarrassed to tell anyone. I've always supported him being open about it, because it's not something to be ashamed of at all.

[@esmeraldagreengate4354]

I was reading Order of the Phoenix getting ready for the next Harry Potter book so we got The philosophers stone to read and read together so I could help him through. By the end of the book he could pretty much read it on his own and after 3 years he reads faster than I do and I read FAST.

Part of the utility of English is that you can absolutely suck at grammar and pronunciation and STILL be understood.

Feel free to be annoyed by other people's pronunciation, but as long as they can effectively communicate, what's the problem? There's lots of examples of this kind of thing, such people who say 'Arksed' rather than 'Asked'...but we still know what they mean....and surely that's the point of language...to facilitate the communication of ideas...

I've never heard such exact yet smooth English as yours.

Ah, Miss Rosey, here is something I've learned after 25 years on the innerwebz. If one is going to act as a grammar gatekeeper, one had best be absolutely certain one knows one's shite, because that will bite one on the arse quicker than sitting on an ant hill. I may have told this story here before. I took a linguistics class in college. The professor made it very clear that what is important about language is that it communicate and that grammar doesn't always have that much to do with meaning. His example: imagine driving to a gas station and seeing a sign that said "we ain't got no gas." Now, imagine sitting at the pump waiting for an attendant because the sign used a double negative so it surely meant "we have gas." Who is the fool then?

*She's right- T "flapping" is DIFFERENT than exchanging the letters. We need to stop glorifying the intentional mispronunciation of words thinking it's cool, because between TikTok and TY and kids who don't take education seriously (and also the pop stars and rappers) people are sounding spectacularly stupid these days, and while this generation does it intentionally, the next will just be stupid on purpose.*

[@yeetrepublic9142]

Don't "intentionally" and "on purpose" mean the same thing? I'm having trouble understanding this comment

[@mjjoe76]

Do you still pronounce _all_ the consonants in "knight"? Do you insist on calling Newfoundland "New Found Land"? Language changes over generations. Swimming against the current just makes you sound silly.
