mircea_popescu: now
that you're discussing phonetics without any basics, such as
the ipa, is one
thing. but you're discussing it without any consideration for
thought!
PeterL: might just be my accent
though
PeterL: privilege is more of a soft i sound, ledge has
the soft e
PeterL: but it is a different vowel sound
too
mircea_popescu: in any fucking case i'm not changing
the way i write it, breaking historical compatibility in
the process,
to accommodate you feel like saying it
this
tuesday.
mircea_popescu: and if you're not saying it like
that, you fix
the way you say it.
mircea_popescu: this is
the very point : priviledge is
terminated in /d͡ʒ/ like knowledge or ledge ; not in /ʒ/ like liege.
PeterL: another idea, could be related
to liege? But now I am just pulling stuff out of my ass
PeterL: I would say
the sound in edge and ledge is a bit harder
than privilege, not quite
the same
thing
mircea_popescu: they all
take
the d because of peculiarities of historical english pronounciation. without
the d it becomes /ʒ/ as in juge, /ʒuʒ/
PeterL: perhaps "privilege" is more closely related
to "legitamate"
than ledge, so no d before
the g?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cuz you
too have been
to
the zoo, i imagine.
mircea_popescu: anyway, prepare yourselves for "knowlege, redirected from knowledge. don't make
this common spelling mistake."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile all
the "online dictionaries", shitholes as
they are, fail
to list
the historically correct spelling, and so a generation of random idiots go around pretending it's misspelled now.
mircea_popescu: in other news,
this priviledge issue is starting
to get on my nerves. so some schmucks decided
to "fix" random bit of english sometime in
the 80s. because nothing soothes
the pencildick socialist soul more
than changing
things for others.
