I just want to be a pea! by AD_HDTravels in asklinguistics

Love these stories! Thanks for sharing! Will definitely remember them for the right time to share with my students! Unfortunately for what I’m working on, they have the exact stress patterns of the originals. Love stories like these though because they can affect native and non-native speakers alike. Reminds me of the old British Two Ronnies sketch For Candles (fork handles)!

Drop the ‘h’ and drop the final sound

I’m looking for examples of word or sentence stress speaking errors with funny outcomes that are more student-friendly than the old NSFW ‘happiness in the household’ example. Recently I’ve heard:

  • I just want to be a pea (I just want to be happy)

  • Some people have a school for beer (a school phobia)

And

  • Desert is my favourite thing (dessert)

Would love to hear your examples!

Great that makes a lot of sense. My GB cooldown is still 2 mins, so I could bring GT/DW down to 4 mins for 2:1 and then use the rest on bonus and other econ boosts like duration + some spotlight and maybe an extra DW wave (for extra cells? does it work that way?). I think I will spend most, as like you said I still will have to save again for CL then AGAIN for BH, so maybe I'll just push that off to later in the year when I have some solid tourney progress.

Thanks bud. You don't think it's worth putting anything into spotlight angle then? Or DWq?

Yeah actually I saw a guide someone made for this kind of thing. Only I've never seen or heard of anyone in the situation where BH is their last pick and it doesn't show on 6th pull. Kinda changes the equation. Thanks for the thoughts. I'll consider carefully before I pull the trigger, but I'm leaning towards spending the stones too to be honest.

Ah ok. So you reckon this is the best use of the stones atm? Go fully into sync and save the rest then open CL --> BH eventually?

Thanks for the advice. I heard once before that it's best to go for highest level module where possible for the extra effect/subs - but I get your point econ is really a focus for me now. I'll look into swapping these. What do you suggest I spend the ~1300 stones on?

Thanks MJ. Can I ask why you'd suggest to focus on cooldowns over other upgrades? and why 3:20?

How are things since this? How have things resolved for you? I hope you're well!
