@wallhackio it’s actually cat-win as i pronounce it. like i assume the name edwin to be syllabified.

@wallhackio @aescling i am more than a little relieved it wasn’t offensive lol

@wallhackio @aescling i usually mentally refer to you as "catwin"

@Lady yeah, i've still got /i/ there.

@wallhackio right, snow. Superior, huroN, Ontario, Wrie. you don't need the mnemonic to include michigan for ovbvious reasons.

@wallhackio obviously in michigan you don't need a mnemonic because you just look out the window

@Lady in the course of the "thing" question i noticed that i don't seem to have /ɪŋ/ anywhere. /i:n/ and /ɪn/ both appear (e.g. "bean" vs. "bin"), but it seems as if with the velar it must be /i:ŋ/. curious if that is also true for you or if you have any possible counterexamples i should check

@Lady yeah that’s how i’d probably transcribe it tho phonetically-speaking i’m not sure i’m actually diphthonging it in that environment.

@Lady interesting. for me they have a mid-vowel (perhaps even a open-mid not in a diphthong), rhyming with e.g. "bang" and "bank" (which separately i am startled that people seem to transcribe the vowel in those words with /æ/)

what vowel do y'all have in thing and think?

nueve reinas really is a great movie
everyone go watch nueve reinas. you have not seen a better con artist movie.

i think they maybe should not have gone quite so pulpy with the example settings that are going to be in in the forthcoming Questworlds supplement Worlds & Quests (which are among the games used for the running examples in the corebook)

@wallhackio that classic theological issue, the problem of sun

@aescling how do you like that site in general?

@aescling fun
