æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

@alyssa the newly released 12th edition of the merriam-webster collegiate dictionary insists the y is silent, which is what inspired my poll, because i Disagree, in that there is definitely a glide there. (bafflingly, its attested purronunciation fur the word does not even transcribe the existence of a glide!)

(that said, your counterpoint is the reason i somewhat considered that m-w might be “right” here, and also a contributing factor to why i created the poll)

@vaporeon_ if you would really like to boost the meowscaradas, i can change the bot real quick

@vaporeon_ the meowscarada is from my daily good murrnyawn post, which triggers on my furst post of the day, and is always posted on my account

@cam furgive me if i’m being too mean to her, but the misunderstanding your eyes “get immune” to the current focusing effects of your glasses is painful lol

@vaporeon_ evidently? i can’t elaborate

@vaporeon_ i can tell you a list, but if you really want more explanation on it, you should ask someone qualified to talk about how gender was conceptualized in the Talmud

1. male
2. female
3. androgynous (having both male and female characteristics (hermaphroditism?))
4. tumtum, “lacking sexual characteristics”
5. Aylonit hamah, AFAB but eventually (naturally) developing “masculine characteristics”
6. Aylonit adam, AFAB but eventually developing “masculine characteristics” by deliberate intervention
7. Saris hamah, AMAB but eventually (naturally) developing “female characteristics”
8. Saris adam, AMAB but eventually developing “female characteristics” by deliberate intervention

@vaporeon_ regional nidoran variant with forms fur every gender in the Talmud (there are eight)

@vaporeon_ yes

@vaporeon_ “ä” is how they transcribe the vowel in bother and cot, typically an open back unrounded vowel (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Open_back_unrounded_vowel.ogg fur sample audio, if you don’t know IPA) in contempurrary “general american” english

@vaporeon_ yes.

@vaporeon_ some dictionaries attest a y-less purronunciation. utterly bafflingly, the merriam-webster collegiate dictionary attests the y-less purronunciation exclusively, which is what made me make this poll

@coriander i can attest learning about the underlying mechanisms of computers does not help much with this purroblem

@Satsuma @hoja fuck, ignore my post then

@hoja hi @Satsuma i am completely ignorant of the context required to understand this and i am blaming you fur bringing that to my attention

@Breakfast “i’m not becoming you!! i’m becoming even more you than you ever were!!! that’s not the same!!!!!”

@vaporeon_ transphobic of GlitchCat to render her this way tbh

@vaporeon_ yeah, it just renders pretty small; it’s not like instances can federate their CSS rules
