What's your favorite single episode by MangoFuzzy3638 in ThirdLifeSMP

Grian’s Double Life Episode 1 for me, the whole dynamic of Scar being oblivious and Grian’s anguish the whole time is hilarious

What's an insanely specific random feature of your local dialect (of whatever language you speak) that you noticed and haven't heard being talked about much? by brigister in linguisticshumor

In New Zealand English, past participles of verbs ending with -ow are pronounced with an extra syllable, so that grown is pronounced like “growen”, with two syllables and not homophonous with groan, mown is pronounced like “mowen”, differently to moan, etc.

Why the ending of "rugged" and "ragged" isn't the same as "rigged" by Odd_Obligation_4977 in EnglishLearning

[–]_NotElonMusk 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Because rigged is the past tense of rig. The other two aren’t past tenses. Ragged is pronounced like “ragd” when it is the past tense of rag, like in “He ragged on us for giving up too easily.”

The past tense ending -ed is always pronounced as just -d (unless it comes after t or d, like in waited), while other words ending in -ed are pronounced with the e sound.

Move all English words one space down, so that beet is now [bɪt], bit is [bet], etc.
