Reconcilable Differences252: Briefly, It Was the Future https://relay.fm/rd/252
zack@RecDiffs I am a (young? Middle?) millenial and overall apologist for what I might called 'linguistic innovation'. When I finally heard the example of the baby-talk 'important' that you, I thought to myself "this ABSOLUTELY sounds like a baby". Just to let you know know that it's odd to me too.
@RecDiffs The linguistic training I have makes me want to say that it's I don't think it's the glottalized t sound alone, which is very common, but that this happens alongside the schwa which sounds really very low and back to me, like maybe a weird combination of these fairly recent phenomena:

I can't explain why it makes them sound like a baby though, but it really does.
๐น ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐@RecDiffs got back into scrobbling my Apple Music when I switched to the 3rd party player Marvis. Pretty sure Spotify has built in last fm integration. I did think it was a odd choice of words when I saw Trakt promoting the new feature though
Nathan King@RecDiffs All I could think about during the glottal stop section with the repeated use of โriseโ was Merlin in his sweatpants saying, โquid pro quo, Clarice!โ What is wrong with me? ๐คฃ
Clayton Andersen@RecDiffs Yes it is called Plaid, there are also a few others. Iโve integrated 3 of them (including plaid) into a B2B SaaS app and they all break often. Thereโs no real standard to speak of in the banking industry so unless you are connecting to one of the top like 5-10 banks in the US they often use some variation of screen scraping to get the data you need.

Merlin Mann@hotdogsladies @RecDiffs @siracusa Au contraire. More confirmation that grammar blog is gaslighting everyone
