  • So I’ve been talking to myself for a while out loud now…

    I agree with the ‘uh’ insertion. The word seems as if someone added a neural sound to stretch the vowel without adding another syllable though.

    As for marry and merry I definitely hear a vowel color change. Merry is ‘brighter’ and I hear a definite ‘ɛ’ as in bed; and marry/Mary a neutral ʌ or ə; the vowel in Mary sounds longer, as if prolonged by inserting an ‘uh’ to enunciate (maybe over-) clearly.

    Oh and in response to the rhymes. To my ear weary does not rhyme with the rest of your examples but weary does rhyme with teary. Berry only rhymes with ferry, Larry, and Harry. And Fairy rhymes with hairy but not the others.









  • Started like three mints ago b/c fed up with windows. Got 2nd SSD and set up dual boot with Bazzite. Initially this was just to fuck around but i switched to Bazzite as main distro within two days. It just works. Won me over when Darksouls was immediately displaying the Playstation glyphs when I plugged in the Dualshock 4.

    Even modding was relatively easy. Things are well documented now and; and I shame to admit, ChatGPT is surprisingly not the shittiest at helping me with my issues (specific example setting up Darksouls Remastered Gadget to run with the Seamless Coop mod which required some custom code shenanigans… For which the vibe code was serviceable!)

    Haven’t booted my windows partition for a month ish now. Probably won’t for a long time.
