this thing my phonetics prof said a while ago that i can finally share with someone relevant: "i think that language is the most interesting function of the vocal tract....don't tell my wife i said that"

"Like 'no way!' and I'm like 'yeah way!'"
- My phonetics lecturer on how cool acoustic phonetics is
our phonetics professor will always loudly and passionately exclaim "orthography is not our friend!". he makes us repeat after him, its kind of a running gag at this point
If someone told me that all the phonetics lecturers of the world meet up biannually and share their 'orthography is bad' quotes with each other, then I would probably believe them
"I'm only going to talk about lexical stress today because there's nothing on rhythmic stress on the test"
