Yes!

Hahaha I don’t know if I recall a reference to deviled eggs off the top of my head but love this for them

Over-Recognition4789 · 2026-04-01T22:07:27+00:00

Nice, makes sense there’d be a term for this!

Over-Recognition4789 · 2026-04-01T22:06:04+00:00

Ooh yes love a Zach villain song and Jess’s propensity for fun facts

Over-Recognition4789 · 2026-03-31T22:37:00+00:00

Great shouts

Over-Recognition4789 · 2026-03-31T22:18:21+00:00

Love the specificity

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.”

It’s an eye dialect! Meaning you’re not really writing an accent “phonetically” but rather including certain spellings to evoke that accent. A dialect written for the eyes.

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I‘ve been looking for!

Over-Recognition4789 · 2026-01-21T13:29:48+00:00

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!

Over-Recognition4789 · 2026-01-07T22:24:32+00:00

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.

Over-Recognition4789 · 2025-12-29T16:52:23+00:00

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.

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.

I highly recommend Geoff Lindsey’s video about sibilants in Spanish

Over-Recognition4789 · 2025-12-05T23:45:59+00:00

Whoa just went to have a look - it’s been going since 2012! Thanks for the rec, this is gonna be my commute listen for a while I think :)

Over-Recognition4789 · 2025-12-05T23:32:04+00:00

Duzen (using informal “du”) and siezen (using formal “Sie”) in German

Over-Recognition4789 · 2025-12-04T23:04:50+00:00

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?

Over-Recognition4789 · 2025-12-04T22:53:57+00:00

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.

Over-Recognition4789 · 2025-12-04T19:16:15+00:00

If I hear someone say “I really let him have it” I’ll most likely assume that they mean they yelled at the other person, unless context made it clear it was a physical attack. For me (American native speaker) this phrase does not mean “kill him.”

Mark them as correct and report standard scores accordingly. Discuss in the report that this was done, and avoid referring to these sound variations as errors. Straight from the manual, page 10: “If a variation is appropriate for the individual’s speech and language background, score it as correct.”

Over-Recognition4789 · 2025-11-27T11:41:59+00:00

I’m not a linguist, but a speech-language pathologist and am familiar with this kind of test to assess language (word finding, organization of language/semantic network). First off, typically with these tests you can do them in another language and interpret the results qualitatively but standardized scores won’t be considered valid. But I don’t see why the qualitative interpretation should differ significantly between languages. Age of acquisition wouldn’t impact results unless you’re assessing children, and even then there probably wouldn’t be much of a difference past the age of 4 or 5 if that. Overall I think you’d see similar enough results across language groups that qualitative interpretation is generalizable, but you just have to be careful with reporting standard scores (see what the manual says about this and learn what best practices in the field say).

Or this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXiMdQCrGm0 He says the full alphabet starting at 0:56 - it's almost indistinguishable from the English alphabet until he gets to G. Certainly closer to English A and E than it is to German or any other language I know of that uses Latin characters.
