It's the only key that's lost so currently unable to drive it. Use the other one that isn't lost then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 3 hours ago, Mr. Alli said: Folk cried it was bullying. They also said that following people around the forum to dot them was very peculiar behaviour. When they were asked how they knew who was dotting who, they admitted to keeping tabs on the posters they were ridiculing. The creepy fantasist section of Pie and Bovril concluded that racist, homophobic, bigoted and abusive posts are fine but clicking downward pointing arrows within red circles is tantamount to murder in the first degree.

We kept telling you, even though it says automatic you still have to drive it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I know it's a kids nursey choon, but I've been listening with my bairns but this is the best kids song. It would also be adapted easily for football chants, dunno If any team has. An absolute banger (as is everything from the Singing Kettle group of children's entertainers) and responsible for seagulls henceforth being known in my house as "Mr Greedy Guts". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 How does one document the 'Scottish T' in writing? You know, that back-of-the-top-of-the-mouth sound we often have for the double-t in e.g. "better". Almost said "beh-ihr", but not quite. No T is pronounced when spoken, but there's definitely a noise made, otherwise it would just be 'ber', which it isn't. Therefore, you can't use an apostrophe as that suggests silence, which there isn't. Is there another mysterious letter (to go alongside yogh) in the Scottish alphabet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 9 minutes ago, mathematics said: Glottal stop? I think you might be onto something there, thanks. So would "boʔle" be "bottle" then? The glottal stop is not a separate phoneme (or distinctive sound) in English, though it is one of the allophones of the t phoneme in some dialects (as in Cockney or Brooklynese “bo'l” for “bottle”). It functions as a phoneme in numerous other languages, however, such as Arabic and many American Indian languages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) What does RFVH mean in the context of p&b? Edit: yes that is the glottal stop written phonetically like this. But bottle wouldn't be written phonetically like that (boʔle) as you'd need to use the phoneme for the b, o and the le sound, if you know what I mean. If you're trying to write Scots dialect in standard English, I'd probably go bo'tle - the difficulty is non Scots speakers not having a fucking clue what would go in place of the apostrophe @Hedgecutter Even if you look at some of Tom Leonard's stuff, he just writes the "t" despite pretty much everything else being transposed into the accent https://www.tomleonard.co.uk/online-poetry-and-prose.html "jiss try enny a yir fly patir wi me stick thi bootnyi good style so ah wull" Patir/Patter would have a glottal stop in the above example.

It is not just an automatic. It is a variomatic with a continuously variable transmission. A friend of mine had one of those once. In theory you can do 70 mph in reverse. Maybe a good selling point if you aim for right market. Just an idea. HTH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back-of-the-throat click commonly used in some African languages is usually denoted by an exclamation mark. If the glottal stop is seen as the opposite of the click, then why not use the upside-down exclamation mark that appears in Spanish? (Why does the term 'glottal stop' have a double t?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
