Trumble 02/01/22 8:51:58 PM #8:	armandro posted... really i thought there was a way to see how the word is said? You could find a recording of someone else saying the word. It's going to sound at least somewhat different from every different person who says it, even if they don't have different accents (let alone if they do). Being obsessed with "correct" language is pointless anyway. Language changes over time. Dictionaries etc are an attempt to describe the language, not a rulebook that defines the language, anyone with even a basic grasp of linguistics could tell you that. The important function of a language is to communicate; if you can understand people and they can understand you, that function is achieved. --- Anything is a Trumble if you're brave enough. <cite>Trumble posted [p:962285815] in how come a...
