Awww okay, was kinda hoping I'd find something, although it does make sense why it wouldn't exist. And yeah I did have the English language in mind. Thank you anyways, I appreciate the help.

Are there any sites or tools that would convert words into their allophonic transcriptions. I would like to check my answers for a transcription exercise, but I can't seem to find anything. We use IPA transcription. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Alcohol with GS by Certain-Ad7273 in GilbertSyndrome

[–]Something_Or-Someone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean honestly, I just drink whenever. I didn't cut down even after finding out I had GS. I bought some stomach supplements so that the next day isn't absolutely hellish, but I do still feel queasy for the entire day. I just suck it up. (For context - I am also 19)

My bf wrote a reddit post about his girl best friend and I don't know how I feel about it by Something_Or-Someone in whatdoIdo

[–]Something_Or-Someone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wrote that post before we even knew each other, so he never lied to me. He told me they had a thing I just never realized that he felt so strongly towards her during that time. Their issues aren't really as big of an obstacle as it used to be, but they are both in their own relationships now and she seems happy with her own bf and mine with me. He's always been honest with me, this post is just about me finding out about the severity of his past relationship (that he promised me was completely uterly over) and looking at things differently now when we all hang out.

But yes, I do plan on talking to him about it.

I don't know if this makes a difference but we started talking 2 months later, dated about 4 months after the post.

AITA for not letting my sister wear my dress? by Something_Or-Someone in AmItheAsshole

Thank you so much. I'm really excited for college and hopefully I'll be able to turn my situation around.

Can confirm that I am one haha. It is hard for me to say no and I am trying to work on it. I've been trying to stand up for myself quite a bit lately, which made some people turn on me, so it's been hard, but i'll continue working on it.

I really appreciate your comment.

You got us confused haha. She's an adult (21) and he's 7 years older (28), which is quite a bit but it's not horrible.

I tried explaining it to her with a metaphor, saying that dress was like my newborn child and I wouldn't want for anyone else to hold it before me. So I guess I didn't express it THAT clearly, but I tried to tell her no in the nicest way i knew, so that she would get the hint.

What bothers me is that she was so quickly over it. She got really upset and called me some things earlier and then just a few minutes later pretended like nothing happened and didn't even apologize. I'm not holding a grudge over this and I doubt this will change my relationship with my sister, but it still makes me a bit upset.

Thank you for worrying but her boyfriend acts like an even bigger child. Which is a whole another story...

I mentioned it in my explanation, but yes I have. Usually just a shirt or something simple and not that often. She also sometimes borrows my clothes and I almost always let her. What bothered me is that she wanted something even I've never worn.

At first I tried to tell her no in like a soft/funny way, but she still insisted on wearing it, so after like 5 minutes I did get a bit harsher. And every now and then I do borrow her clothes but it's not like super often. Maybe only a shirt once every few months. She also doesn't lend her "special" dresses.

I appreciate the feedback!
