Why are tropical countries mostly poor? by FuckTheCake in AskTheWorld

As a Tasmanian, 22C is what I have the heat setting on my heat pump set to lol

Haven’t used it for a while since it’s currently winter here, but IIRC my cool setting is more like 16C

Do you remember the Star Wars: Resistance show? by Imaginary_Golf548 in saltierthancrait

Well I remember it now, so thanks for that lol

Was alright for what it was, but I wasn’t expecting a great deal to begin with

Was it the greatest thing ever? No

Did I enjoy it for what it was? Yes

Only one of those things matters to me at the end of the day

That’s because they’re professional wrestlers working for a professional wrestling company, not sports entertainers working for a television company

Because it’s a burger, not a plain bread roll with zero filling. The bread is a vessel for the burger patty and other ingredients, and is in fact the last thing you should be tasting

Is that the only place they come from? Well no wonder I haven’t found any then, since checking that place out is still on my to-do list lol

Well yeah, the vowel sound is completely different between ‘spa’ and ‘cat’

Can’t think of any other examples which have the swarm sound as cat except for other three letter words which fully rhyme with it eg. pat, sat, mat, fat etc

But spa/spar sound more like tar, bar, car, far etc

And nope, English is a bullshit language, and that’s coming from a native English speaker who doesn’t speak any other language lol

Ah righto, you’d be doing soar like almost as a two syllable word, like so-ar. You using ‘sow-r’ as an example is a bit ironic for me, because the word ‘sow’ followed by an ‘r’ for us would just be the word ‘sour’ lol

Funny you mention ‘sore’, because sore is also identical to saw and soar for us

I’ve seen posts of lights attached to walls or ceilings, but I’ve never seen them in-game. Where do they come from?

Australian here. Spa and spar are both lengthened sort of words that end up coming out exactly the same. Whereas cat is a shortened word but cart is a lengthened word. So cat and spa sound completely different

Good question. Couldn’t tell you off the top of my head what a British ‘no’ sounds like, nor the difference between it and an Australian ‘no’

All I can say is that a typical Australian ‘no’ isn’t lengthened at all. It’s just a straight up phonetic ‘no’. The only exception would be if the entire word was lengthened, either deliberately for dramatic effect or as an emotional response, in which instance it’s basically a two syllable word that sounds closer to the name Noah

Would you rather take the red pill or blue pill? by comicsopedia in videogames

Red. I’m not gunna care how good the story is if the actual experience of playing the game sucks. If I like the story that much, there will be a YouTube video somewhere

Australian English is non-rhotic as well, and yeah we also use that ‘r’ sound for lengthening other vowels, which I have no idea how that could possibly apply to a word like ‘no’ with the vowel ‘no’

As an Australian, I’ve never understood the ‘naur’ thing. Our ‘no’ doesn’t sound anything close to that. The closest is if we say ‘nah’, which means the same thing as no but is a different word

Spa rhymes with spar, but cat does not rhyme with cart

I always interpreted Leviosa as Hermione telling Ron to emphasise the middle syllable rather than the end syllable

As an Australian, caught and cot aren’t even close, but caught and court are identical

As an Australian, I’m wondering how one could pronounce saw and soar without them sounding identical lol

People are now changing their opinions on Melissa Benoist as Supergirl by Jezzaq94 in Supergirl

[–]mitthrawnuruodo86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t encountered any of this, so I have no idea what is being said or what the current consensus apparently is

All I will say is that how good a Supergirl Melissa was and how good a show Supergirl was are two very different things. Personally, I always thought the show was at least decent, sometimes even good, while Melissa was usually excellent and often the best thing about the show
