stancarey, to Korean

Edited an article with the text "a HR meeting" and left the "a" intact. In Irish English the name of the letter H is aspirated: "haitch" rather than "aitch".

This is deeply controversial in some quarters, as I reported here: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/an-aitch-or-a-haitch-lets-ear-it/

stancarey, to languagelearning

Interesting piece on developing Irish Alexa via 'voice disentanglement', though some details seem off: I've seldom if ever heard anyone say 'bath' like 'bat' or 'bad', and the 'r' sound in Irish English is not 'overpronounced' – it's just pronounced, unlike in non-rhotic accents
