(I would love if someone could add an image description; I cannot.)

Okay but let me blow your mind a little more: Notice how she still stumbled a bit on “talking?” That’s because the al is more accurately an o or aw, depending on your regional accent.

This isn’t so much a rule of English, it’s a rule of linguistics. Or rather, several of them, and the way we can tell what linguistic ‘family trees’ look like. Languages drift over time in the mouths of their speakers; but books are fixed at the time they were printed, so text generally preserves ‘archaic’ structures that aren’t actually used any more.

For a fascinating example of what this might look like in English over time, check out this deep-dive on Quora.

It’s also not necessarily about how native speakers pronounce things, his advice is pretty specific to someone going from Chinese (Mandarin I assume?) to English. Listen to how they speak in Chinese, there’s very clear stops between words probably because it’s a tonal language but when you do that in English it sounds unnatural. Dropping the Ts is a good way to make it flow from one word to the next if you are struggling to make them sound natural

[lil-tumbles]

Not to derail but… Am I the only native English speaker who pronounces my “t”? Unless I’m speaking in a more American accent (sometimes when I say certain things/or am trying to emphasise the American in my accent, it comes out), then it sounds less pronounced, but otherwise I pronounce it pretty strongly.

[real-uwu-hours]

No you’re not! It’s a regional thing, even in america. In my accent for example sometimes I pronounce the Ts and sometimes I don’t

[lierdumoa]

I was watching a WIRED documentary on US accents on youtube, and according to that doc the replacement of “t” with a glottal stop when it’s the last letter in a word/syllable is in several US accents, but especially prevalent in Southern California, and this particular dialect quirk seems to have originated in the Indigenous American communities in California.

Y’know an awful lot of Terry Pratchett’s books are concerned with how powerful women are when they get angry and how important anger is as a driving force to defend what is right and to tackle injustice. 

A lot of his most interesting and most deeply moral characters are angry ones. Granny Weatherwax, Sam Vimes, Tiffany Aching. All are to a large extent driven to do good by anger.

And that honestly means a lot to me.

[thebibliosphere]

Terry was an angry man. This is not the same as saying he was a bad man. He held a righteous fury, the kind that comes from looking at the world, and knowing just how much better it could be if only we stopped being bastards. He held a genuine belief that people can and do change the world for the better, not by big things, but by the little. He believed in the kindness of others, and that kindness means more than wishing well and prayers. He knew the difference between being good and doing good, and that you technically couldn’t be the first without the latter.

He was angry at the world because he loved it, and he wanted us to feel the same, to not feel helpless, to know that something can be done, to know that anger is not just the tool of abusers and tyrants but the chisel by which The People might chip away at oppression and fear and bring it crumbling down. He gave us the drive needed to believe in hope. because he wanted to make the world better with words and not violence.

I hope he knows that he did.

Oh wow. I didn’t know that, this is very important.
