• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

What are some words that seem weird when you think about them a lot

I've always been fascinated how the English language has limited actual mouth movements. We use "voiced" and "unvoiced" sounds to make our speech more efficient. Examples:
-J is the same as Ch. First is voiced, second not
-D is the same as T
-B and P
-Z and S
-G and K
-Th is voiced at the beginning of a word and unvoiced at the end. Thumb vs teeth
Am possibly too blazed— or maybe your guys accent is even more hardcore than i currently imagine,....coz ya got me tripppin—specifically on:

-¿Thumb vs teeth?

Which do ya "voice"?

😂Been trying different variations yet none sound right when "voicing" either,...
...butt eye am known to go total retard quite often, sew there's that.

What i'm sorta guessing you've described, is like how(*unless mistaken) pronunciation of the word;
-' thunder' can be both "voiced" & "unvoiced", aye?
