CharlieSaw another #geofflindsey video and once again I learned something about my own native language that I didn't realize I do all the time.
Specifically [this one](https://youtu.be/Y5jD5SyH3EM) about "Deaccenting."

Interestingly, #Wiktionary's voice sample gives the third one for RP "thrown" making it 2 syllables, but doesn't actually transcribe it as such. I'm sure that Geoff Lindsey would have a field day. (-:
