Re: wikipedia dot orgy

>> Hi Kooyeen,'Org' rhymes with 'fog' and 'blog'.<<No, "org" does not rhyme with "fog" and "blog" in rhotic varieties of North American English. In the West, org not only contains an "r", which clearly distinguishes it from the -og in "fog" and "blog", but the vowel is an open-mid...

Re: I need serious advice. Help! :'(

Thank you sooo much.Even Nona tried to listen to some American English, thanks. I don't have much time now, I think I'll post on this tomorrow.

Re: Unreleased final consonants

Frog? Clock has also that vowel. We have that vowel in Italian too. Why do you say it's weird? I think there is that vowel in American English, for those who distinguish "cot" and "caught".You seem to think that the vowel in British frog is the same as the vowel in American caught (where they...

Re: Unreleased final consonants

Unreleased final consonants

Hi,I read Nona's new post earlier, but... where is it now? I can't see it anymore. It was a post with a link to a website where you could listen to IPA sounds (for British English).Well, I heard a lot of words pronounced with a clear consonant sound at the end. I thought of posting this:What are...
