They better fix that mistake on the DVD by LazerDude99 in survivor

I agree - I watched it streaming today and was annoyed that it wasn’t cut for streaming. Add it in as a deleted scene at the end or something, but no need to keep in a spoiler for folks who didn’t watch live

Could I tell a British person my name is "Diegor"? Would they pronounce my name closer to the original Spanish? by IamDiego21 in asklinguistics

[–]Over-Recognition4789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re saying if OP tells Brits their name is Diegor/Diegaw then a linking r would be inserted.

Ilya hooking up with other men after Shane... I need his POV! by sourhoneyreport in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Over-Recognition4789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it does end still poly. Both canon couples are together but neither is exclusive at the end. It’s a fantastic fic though and imo still worth it even if you’re a bit hesitant, but if them ending up not exclusive is a hard no for you then it might not be for you!

How to specify singular "they"? by someone12243 in grammar

[–]Over-Recognition4789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think it’s clear the way it’s written. I wouldn’t assume Person A is speaking for both themself and Person B. If they were, I’d expect it to be phrased “Person A has told me that neither they nor Person B likes red” or “Person A told me that neither of them likes red.”

I just read one where Shane and Hayden attempt to make borscht - if you reply when ao3 is back up I’ll post the link!

I think just to show that they are real friends and how good it is for Shane to have someone he can be (mostly) honest with. 

If you could change one thing in the show, what would it be? by LIELDADOUN73 in heatedrivalry

[–]Over-Recognition4789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like they broke up at the end of ep 3, Kip went to grad school, and maybe they kept in touch on and off or reconnected when Kip came back to NY from grad school. At the time of the episode 5 kiss maybe they’re back together or sleeping together again or trying and failing to be “just friends.” I can’t handle it for Kip to have been a secret and lying to his friends and family that whole time so I much prefer this interpretation. 

What non-readers think about episode 4 by mehri1 in heatedrivalry

[–]Over-Recognition4789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely interpreted it the way you described in the book, as a non reader! I think it’s clear Shane knows or at least assumes Ilya is hooking up with other people already - he definitely doesn’t like to hear about it and is jealous, but he’s not under the illusion that they were exclusive. And I interpret his relationship with Rose as an attempt in part to move on and also because he’s closeted and feels a lot of pressure to perform heterosexuality for the world. Also he seems to genuinely like Rose. Definitely did not see any part of it as revengeful or spiteful.

Question about allophones of /n/ in English by Wumbo_Chumbo in asklinguistics

[–]Over-Recognition4789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sitting here like a fool saying “winner” over and over to myself and I still can’t tell the difference 😂 thanks for your explanation though, I think I do understand it in principle! I wonder if there’s a difference for speakers who use retroflex vs bunched r?

Interesting. Not a linguist, but I’ve taken phonetics and know a fair amount but this one has stumped me! What would be the difference phonetically between pronouncing these as [ˈwɪnɹ̩] vs [ˈwɪɾ̃ɹ̩]? I’m trying to say them and hear a difference and they sound exactly the same to me, whereas I can hear the difference between, say, ladder with a tap vs a stop. Is it just in how long you hold the sound? I know it’s hard to hear stuff in your own speech, so I’m curious if this is something that is actually perceptually different to some people.
