It's okay to be wrong.It's not okay to stay wrong.
Pretty funny. After learning Japanese, where they have no respect for spaces between words, I learned that hyphens, spaces and such are mere typographical convention and "length of word" had no other meaning.I love google ngram to watch the growth of ideas and phrases. For example, "proper grammar" did not really take off until about the 1960s!
I have a random question, the product of a game of pictionary, an Argentinian accent, and trying to prove my brother wrong. I looked in my dictionary, but could you tell me if there is a phonetic difference between the words 'poll' and 'pole' with an Australian accent?
Great question! I'm going to answer it on the next episode, number 149: Tongue Twisters.
Thank you for answering my question! Sadly, I lost the bet so if my brother asks about the answer I'm just going to act confused and change the subject.
