RE: Why "Choose" Rhymes With "Shoes" - Madman Philosophy

in #philosophy6 years ago

Well this was some fun rambling to read on a chilly October morning :) I think it would have come across better as a video though, since for me shelf and health do not rhyme haha, and it took a few seconds to realize you must pronounce those words ending in th as if they end in f. I can hear it with the British accent now but I have to wonder, if it doesn't rhyme for everyone then what does that mean? I can't quite grasp the choose and lose thing, it rhymes when I say it. Yup, definitely a vid needed ;0)

Are you still abstaining from the green? lol!

Sort:  

I wanted to do it in a video but don't have what I need to make it happen right now. But, if I had, then you would just be listening to me pronouncing words wrong because you're right. They ought not to rhyme, but they do when I speak. I've noticed there's a lot of words that do rhyme that shouldn't, or don't rhyme that should when speaking in Scottish. But, The language is called English, so I am focusing on that really.

But yeah, as I said in the post. It's probably not meaningful at all. I am just finding meaning, because I want to. But, meaning is useful so I won't stop.

Yes, btw. I am off the weed. Lol. Though I know this post sounds like the ramblings of someone who is very fucking high.

Oh I get it, you should see some of the notebooks full of thoughts like this, on what things mean etc, that I have :)

As for the weed- many years ago I had an issue with it similar to yours, smoking it all the time. I broke that habit by giving it up for a fair amount of time, a year at least. After that I never had a problem with it, and found I could use it as a tool if I wanted, or not use it if I wanted. I only mention this because it's really unfortunate if you never get the benefits of what it has to give because you're afraid of what it takes, of 'it' being in control. Just something to think about down the road.

Funny running into you here. :D

Extremely funny considering whose post we're on, LOL!!

Unless you knew this time around? :0)

LOL, the style was pretty familiar. Officially though, no.

Well, it's official now. I wasn;t trying to hide it!
