when people feel this way i genuinely wonder if they understand that modern pronunciations for a lot of words are in fact modern and based on a lot of people pronouncing a word one influential way in one influential place for a influential time. you wouldn't even understand shakespeare as it was spoken contemporaneously, so why this smoke?

more to the point, do you actually think words have inherent pronunciations? and if they don't, how did the modern one occur? did it spread or was one word used the same way in multiple places with a different sound in each. and if it was, which was "correct"?

as long as the pronunciation makes sense for character (and yes it can be "correct" for the well-educated and well-spoken), i hope you get a grip OP

Right? And English has been especially egregious for this over the centuries. We straight up went from Germanic to Latin and back again as far as our pronunciation conventions go.

Cool. Since it could make sense for my sister, the English lit teacher, to just start speaking in iambic pentameter, she should do that? You know, since modern and context-specific conventions are pointless. If other people judge her, they're just being elitist dicks?

I mean shakespearean english (you know regular conversational english spoken at the time of shakespeare), bb, but your wild defensiveness was very entertaining thank you. however, if anyone tells your english teacher sister that her 16th century pronunciation is unbecoming of the well-educated, yes, they're being hilariously elitist. they should judge her for deliberately speaking in a way very few can understand instead.

Glad you enjoyed it. This secret has led to some very entertaining trolling opportunities.

I'm honored by this gift.

This has been a long pandemic, so we all must make our fun where we can. ;)

SA - actually I'm a little embarrassed by my comment to you. It was not my best work. Way too obvious. My apologies.
