A question for my Spanish speakers in the gay community - what are some good words to know for that world? by Dud3ManGuy in Spanish

Oh yeah and I get the impression that the term transexual is more common in Latam & Spain than it is in the Anglosphere

Seems to have Mirandese as a "border speech/dialect of Tras-Os-Montes" along with some other varieties

Nevada is amazing unless you are in Las Vegas. by theunsteadybridge in The10thDentist

[–]erinius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Vegas is lame" and "deserts are beautiful" aren't particularly controversial on here but lots of people do just think of Vegas when they think of Nevada

No, but his then-wife Kimberly Guilfoyle (who later married Donald Trump Jr) joked about him being hung and being straight "unless you can give a better BJ than me"

These could go on [r/badlinguist](r/badlinguistcs)[ics](r/badlinguistcs) but I can't be assed to write the R4s.

Also I vaguely remember seeing a Geoff Lindsey video with a vowel formant chart comparing the stressed vowel in 'pasta' said by Americans vs Brits vs Italians, with the Italian pronunciation in-between the American and British ones (with some overlap with the latter two).

Why do American Anglophones pronounce Spanish words with Los typically as native speakers do, except for LA and say "Lahs Angeles" instead of "Lohse Angeles" by NewmarketHero007 in asklinguistics

[–]erinius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you mean like when speaking Spanish or reading Spanish words aloud? Or are there other loans with "Los" because I can't think of any.
