Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhymes with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.

Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.

Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.

Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.

Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.

Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough?
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is give it up!

The 'z' only obtains in the nominative (Zeus) and the vocative (Zeu)
In the accusative, dative, and genitive a 'D' replaces the 'Z' (Dia, Dei, Dios).
In Classic Attic Greek this change of initial consonant (for a proper noun) is an anomaly. I've always wondered about this.

>>9919802
In other words though Zeus does something, and though you invoke Zeus
(You) see God on the road, something is given to God, something occurs by the will of God.
When one considers Latin and the Latin languages one knows this feel is almost unavoidable.

i know because the low iq mongrels of mde sub are so predictable you use the same jokes and the same language all the time.

that place used to be a high-iq haven. Smart people making smart jokes and im not kidding around, that's what it was. pretty much all the smart people have left because of sam's growing attention from twitter-right. that attention has led to a slow growth of idiots on mde sub, until those idiots thought we weren't joking and were being serious.

dude, sam is an idiot.

if he's right ( and the reason he's doing this) and something huge happens that completely changes the world, rendering his tweets insignificant then he didn't go far enough with his humor.

if he's wrong, well he lost a great deal of his core fanbase and is now surrounded by idiots, so my expectations for his comedy in the future aren't stellar.+ he will never appear on anything remotely mainstream or normal again

That is a weird mutation. You'd expect the z to be more like to show up before the i, because palatalization. Given it's a case of a pre-classic /dz/, you'd think they'd all evolve the same. If you ask me the nom/voc forms were probably loaned from another dialect or had a similar thing happen to them; a similar thing happened with Iuppiter, and it's not so weird a process that classical dictionary entries always cite the genitive because the nominative is not that trustable. Funny that Zeus is also the one Greek god that has an obvious Indo-European name.

My freshman year of college, my roommate was this autistic guy who used 4chan memes irl and subsisted purely on those huge bottles of Gatorade and Tostino's pizza rolls. He ate so many pizza rolls that the smell permeated throughout our cramped door room, and every single person I ever brought there would comment on it. He would also stay up all night playing video games and sleep during the day. At 3 PM every day, his alarm would go off without fail. His alarm was "Sound of Da Police" by KRS One. Every day he would let it play to completion three times before he turned it off. Nothing on Earth triggers me so much as that song does. Fuck you.
he was a pretty cool guy overall tho

Well, it's the same in Latin of course. Iuppiter in the nominative and vocative, but forms of Iovis elsewhere, whence "Jove". Although there it makes a little more sense, as Iuppiter is simply Iovis + pater. I guess the ancients thought you needed a little something extra when saying that the big guy was doing something, or when invoking him.

>>9919813

It also bears mention that Ζεὺς πατήρ is a formulaic phrase in Greek as well, though not grammatically codified as in Latin. In fact the full Indo-European name for that deity is something like Dhyeús-Ph2tér, if I recall
