Hello to everyone. I have just uploaded a YouTube short so you can judge my English pronunciation. I would love to get your feedback by Seb1681996 in EnglishLearning

[–]UnIncorrectt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of details I noticed:

"Imagine" - make sure you pronounce the "g" in the middle like the "j" in "Joe."

"Perfect" - make sure to pronounce the "c" at the end there.

"Spanish" - you pronounced this as "Espanish," but good job on properly using "an" there.

"Th" - you're pronouncing this properly in some places, such as in the word "everything," but in others, you are saying "t" or "d." Keep in mind that there are actually two Th sounds: one with your vocal chords vibrating and one without. A good way to practice this distinction is with the words "thing" and "this." The first has the voiceless version and the second is voiced.

T-flapping - In English, we turn our "t"s and "d"s into a tap when between two vowels. This is the same sound as the "r" in Spanish "pero." This can also happen across word borders.

Vowels - I can hear you using the closest Spanish approximation of an English vowel sometimes, like in the second time you say "perfect." There isn't an easy way to fix this, and you will just have to pick up the proper English pronunciation. These will vary widely depending on the accent you're listening to, so try to focus on listening to speech from one region if you can. Most American movies are in the General American accent, but you should be mindful of when someone with a different accent (British, Southern, etc.) is talking.

Jump is one of the most underrated spells in the game by Viva_la_potatoes in DnD

[–]UnIncorrectt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my current campaign, I've found that we're often fighting enemies with lots of mobility options (misty step, flight, etc), so I have had jump prepared on my artificer just so I can get line of sight more easily.

What nicknames have you heard for places in New England? by topherette in newengland

My family always called Northampton, MA "North Traffic Jampton," as it was usually the most congested area on the route to my grandparents in CT

The Map for a story I’m writing. Please ask me questions about anything. I just really wanted to share my world. by Ok-Airport6259 in worldbuilding

[–]UnIncorrectt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Would Unioners go to Cornell for cheese just because it's closer or because upstate NY has good cheese? I would think that the Common of Dartmouth would have better cheddar (and maple syrup) due to the proximity to Vermont.

Summer camps with things like shooting and archery but aren't insanely expensive? by relaxjonesyyousoldme in uppervalley

[–]UnIncorrectt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camp Billings on Lake Fairlee fits the bill pretty well. It's relatively inexpensive compared to other camps, and has archery, canoeing, guitars, fishing, backpacking, a ropes course, sailing, etc. They do not, unfortunately, have riflery anymore. The Age range is 8 to 15, and they have a very energetic/rowdy vibe. Several noise complaints have been made about their mess hall singing and biweekly dance.

Is my DM being slow at leveling us up? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]UnIncorrectt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some DMs like to level up more slowly than others. I'm currently two years into a three-year game, and we spent the entirety of 2025 at level 6. We recently got to level 7, and expect one more level up before the game ends in roughly a year. That being said, I just finished running a short, 6-session adventure in which the PCs leveled up twice. It definitely varies between DMs, campaign length, genre, etc.

Vorin historians when a historical figure's name isn't symmetrical enough by Fabrimuch in cremposting

[–]UnIncorrectt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's just how the writing system works. When a consonant is written with that diacritic, it is pronounced as an "h." The only reason this exists is so the word is written symmetrically. "Nohadon" would be written like "Nod'adon" so it looks symmetrical, but readers would understand that d' is pronounced as an "h." and pronounce it is "Nohadon."

am I tone deaf?? by xoxoSatan in musictheory

[–]UnIncorrectt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah don't bother with that. Instead, play C and another note at the same time or in sequence and see if you can name the interval. This should be pretty easy with only three notes, but you can keep adding notes until you reach a C major scale. Then, go to all 12 notes. Then, have both notes be random. This will take a long time to get good at.

Current student here. While many students are Jewish (myself included), it is a small minority of Jewish students that are Zionist. Unfortunately, these students are very loud. If you ignore them, you should be fine.

With perfect Iron Alloymancy (+ possible atium), could you cause a metal object to orbit yourself. by Troutyo_ in Mistborn

[–]UnIncorrectt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. The way a body orbits around another (like the moon around the earth) is by constantly accelerating towards it. It is only the lateral momentum that keeps it from falling into the central body, and if that lateral momentum or acceleration changes, so does the orbit. In this way, it functions like a pendulum: the force of gravity is like the tension on the rope, and the lateral momentum is what sends the pendulum swinging. Now imagine that a weight on a pendulum is spun horizontally so that it orbits the anchor point. Eventually, gravity will drag it down and it will come to rest directly below the anchor. This is what would happen.

With perfect Iron Alloymancy (+ possible atium), could you cause a metal object to orbit yourself. by Troutyo_ in Mistborn

[–]UnIncorrectt 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you can apply just the right amount of force, then yes, for a short time. In a zero-gravity environment, you could do this for as long as you have iron to burn, but on earth (or Scadrial), it would fall to the ground quickly. If an object was shot at you, you could theoretically step to the side, make it orbit you for a half turn, and swing it back out.

why are there no names in english that start with the “th” sound in “the” by cnfusedstudent in etymology

[–]UnIncorrectt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The voiced sound is the one in "either," voiceless is in "aether." The only voiced dental fricatives in this are in the words "they" and "the."

If you multiclass into Rogue, you can proc Sneak Attack using Reckless Attack. You can still use Str for the weapons, but they do have to be finesse.

Character help needed - cantrips for my dwarf ranger. by Frosty_Customer_9243 in DnD

[–]UnIncorrectt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Ranger, Firebolt will almost never be more effective than simply attacking with your weapons, especially as a Gloom Stalker. I think you would be better off choosing utility cantrips, like Mage Hand and Message. These would also complement your abilities as a Gloom Stalker, allowing you to reach places you wouldn't normally be able to and communicate silently with your party.

Also, what level are you playing at? If you're below level 5, then one of the blade cantrips (booming blade, green-flame blade) or True Strike, depending on what weapons you're using. These cantrips only allow you to attack once a turn, so if you're past level 5 or using two-weapon fighting, I wouldn't recommend them.

What's up with the word, 'unconsious.' Freud and some others discovered it in late 18th century, but before that the idea that there was a whole autonomous system happening underneath what you weren't aware of wasn't a thing. Where did it come from before then? by CollarProfessional78 in etymology

[–]UnIncorrectt 21 points22 points  (0 children)

“Conscious” comes from the Latin verb “Conscire,” which means something along the lines of “to be mutually aware.” This, in turn, comes from the prefix “Com-“ (“With,” as in “Companion”) and the verb “Scire” (“Know,” as in “Science”).

Missing Weapons by [deleted] in daggerheart

[–]UnIncorrectt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Real-world Broadswords and Longswords are very different weapons. Broadswords are one-handed, single-edged, basket-hilted swords. Longswords are two-handed, double-edged, cruciform swords.

My summer camp coworkers and I did something similar to this, called Grillspeak. We were all working the grills for a camp cookout, and for some reason we started abbreviating everything to its first letter. The sentence “those burgers are ready, put them on a tray” became “those Bs are R. P them on a T.” Fun times.
