I’m a native (American) English speaker and i still spell words wrong all the time, as do most people i know. Part of that is that i don’t really care if a computer’s spellchecker says i should use the French “-ible” instead of the more English “-able”, and part of it is that i know English spelling can’t get any better if we never let it evolve and we try to keep it totally static by making any spelling that doesn’t agree with Merriam and Webster a point of shame.
Oh well, guess i get to make up my own unofficial letters. Thanks.
What makes a fricative sibilant? What’s the difference between sibilant and non-sibilant fricatives?
In case people misunderstand the title and start asking and answering small questions here, my question is does the IPA have a way of writing sounds made with the tongue rolled (not a trill)? For instance, sticking my tongue out rolled and making a voiced fricative that way gets me what sounds like a cross between /ð/ and /β/, and trying to say /a(sound)a/ comes out as [aw(sound)a].
That’s exactly what i was looking for. Thanks. I mostly want an easy way to make sure none of my web pages are too big, so looking in Developer Options makes sense.
