Playing around with this IPA vowel chart with audio (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA_vowe), and I'm a bit shocked to realize that I *don't* actually have [a] in my idiolect! I realize it as [ä]!

Now I'm wondering if that's a normal feature of SAE, or a personal oddity. (I.e., is that my idiolect, or my dialect?) Probably gonna be subtly listening extra-hard to everyone I talk to for the next few days. Maybe asking them if it's too hot, or how their fathers are.😉

My server-side web app instructor is a young Bostonian with a heavy accent and he pronounces "HTTP" as "aitch tuh duh pee" and I propose that become the universal pronciation

I don't know why phonologists have decided to call it the rime instead of the rhyme, but the study of syllable structure is going to need to acquire a great many more mariners and albatrosses before I can get condone these types of jargony shenanigans.

(Next up: plotting negative UP in ERP graphs. Jeepers, what a load of baloney.)

Schrödinger's moments today reading the word "lido": l/aɪ/do and l/iː/do simultaneously came up in my head, and there's honestly no telling what I would say until I open my mouth (I did not)

Have realized my name reads "full phonological system failure" in Manila. Instead of attempting my name, the poor stewardess went for "US passport going to Hong Kong", held up my passport and asked if it was me, and sent me on my way.

While playing Quordle, I noticed the following fun set of presumably unrelated English words

come /kʌm/, but comet /kɔmɪt/

cove /kov/, but covet /kʌⱱɪt/

Not a hugely exciting observation, by any means, but it amused me enough to post this!

When you used to be a linguist, and 2am suddenly seems like a perfectly reasonable time to find out if Optimality Theoretic is still a thing.
