I… get the joke now. 🤦♂️
Hey its not the worst word to get mixed up. Theyre barsly distinct in my accent with only a slightly harder T in profit being the notable difference. But then again I say wader so perhaps I aint the most valid example.
There aren’t places they aren’t full homophones?
Nah, I knew a dude with a real fucked up accent whos ph and f sounds were different. He was from real rural Arkansas and was old as dirt.
That’s certainly strange. Especially to someone like me who doesn’t have an accent (/s I’m from where the tv accent actually is from). That said it’s hard to actually picture that
So im gonna guess ya have a standard pacific LA accent. And yeah it was a bit odd his ph sounds had a sligh bit of vibration to em similar to a v.
Nah Cincinnati. They used to send newscasters there because it’s a particularly neutral accent. And thanks that actually helps a lot
Ah the older tv accent got it, kinda weird how neutral Cincinnati is accent wise given that south eastern Ohio is part of the Appalachians which are known for Scots-Irish with some particularly thick accents.
