Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I'm probably still doing it with some word.

What's the grammatical rule for using 4 l's in a row? Ma gawd what a mess

[-] Davel23@kbin.social 7 points 7 months ago

Perfectly cromulent in Welsh.

According to this song, you pronounce like trying to cough up some phlegm that's gotten stuck in your throat. I can only assume that their history of coal mining has affected the language.

According to this song

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

4 l’s in a row

That’s basically how you spell “yellow” in 22nd century Spanglish

[-] ytg@feddit.ch 2 points 7 months ago

Not Welsh, but I think it’s a compound with successive elements ending and starting with ll

Exactly what I found, it makes sense and is just a large contracted description of the town, specifically made to be as long as possible!

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
