The raccoon is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in) and a body weight of 3.5 to 9 kg (8 to 20 lb). Are you sure you didn't catch a baby bear wearing a mask?

Snowglobe of Doom posted:'Antarctic' means "No bears here!" because someone went and checked and there weren't any bears there. Arctic comes from the Greek arktos, bear, so that's uhh pretty close.

Starboard and port are left and right if you're rowing.

What the gently caress is sometimes W in English.

Captain Monkey posted:In words like 'low' the w makes up the second part of the diphthong. Letters themselves aren't actually 'vowels' they're just letters, but rather the sound you make is the 'vowel sound'. So is L also a vowel then?

I realized today that the names for the Washington Wizards and Mystics are related.

I don't know, sometimes the cheapest thing is a lovely knockoff so people want to go with brands they've heard of. But then they've probably heard of those brands because of the constant advertising.

They are different to most people. Your description matches how I hear it.

So you pronounce sin and sing the same?Felonious_Monk posted:The "sin"/"sing" difference is for sure a dialectal change, with some dialects markedly having [i:] before the "ng" and some having [ɪ]. This is part of a pattern with lax vowels before velars: one of my friends has the "hay" diphthong for "egg", "leg", etc. There seems to be a tongue movement in making velars that makes preceding vowels sound more [i:]-like. Egg (and leg) rhymes with Hague for me. For my fiance it rhymes with beg.

The_White_Crane posted:No of course not; "ng" and "n" don't sound the same. "N" is the sound at the start of "no", "ng" is the sound at the start of "Nguyen". Ok I can't picture how sin and sing have the same i sound then. I listened to some youtube videos on their pronunciation and they sound completely different. Is that a thing? I know some people hear different sounds the same if they don't grow up saying things that way but this seems like it's the opposite of that. e: I just spoke with my wife who studied linguistics, and apparently some people can't hear the difference between the two even though they pronounce them differently. So they can't hear the difference when they say it but other people can. Human brains are weird. bamhand has a new favorite as of 17:44 on Jun 8, 2019 |

Once water starts boiling there's no point in keeping the stove on high. Your food isn't going to cook any faster than if it's on low/medium. Just going to evaporate the water faster.

The concept of probability wasn't even around then. Dice didn't have to be designed to be "fair" because the results are the will of the gods. Gambling is just seeing who the gods favored more. Not a thing of chance.
