Definitely sound different. ‘Passed’ almost sounds like it has a soft ‘r’ in it.

Also, I keep voting for lesbians. When are they going to show up?? I need more lesbians in my life!!!! IS THIS FALSE ADVERTISING????

I think it might be something to do with sounded and unsounded letters. Like how b and v have the same tongue movement but one is voiced and one is unvoiced. But I don't really understand elocution just going off something an actor friend and I were chatting about a while back.

I imagine they sound the same if the person isn't good at elocution but a master could make them sound different. I am not a master for instance I pronounce I pronounce think as fink. A fact I think got me rmildly ridiculed at one of my first ryl meets (in a friendly banter kind of way).

I voted for confused because they need skill to sound different




QUACK!

Woahhh big old plot twist- yes and no are now equal!! So pleased that lesbians are winning though =D

Emma - I demand that you send me a voice recording of this alleged difference!!

Jen - love the pronunciation-shaming- ‘they need skill to sound different’; as though the no-voters are unskilled :P. Also I presume it was me who roasted you at your first meet so I do apologise as that’s not something I’d do now (I’d roast you for lots of things but not not being able to do the ‘th’ sound!)



No other sadness in the world would do

I wasnt trying to roast to be fair just being self deprecating. Forgot I had accidentally insulted other people at the same time XD

I think it was you and also someone else joined in. But don't sweat it. I saw it as friendly banter.




QUACK!

That's a dodgy looking link Jenna. Do I need to report you for spam?

Catbug raises a good point!!! We should probably be more advertise friendly towards lesbians. A slogan could be:
Make homosexuality great again!!!!

Hmm… but then of course that implies that it has been kind of rubbish. Which i am unsure if it has…. I Think lots of peeps might disagree.
We need a new slogan!!!

I meant to vote that they don't sound different.





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.

I'm half a lesbian. Does that count?



I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!


Who else is fine?!?!?

Well no complaints from me, I'm not one of those silly bi-exclusionary type of lesbians. And you and L sound so cute together!



Ride it out.

That's so exciting Beckie, I'm super pleased for you!

Also yes they definitely sound different! I feel like 'passed' has a longer 'a' sound or something!

Also while we're talking about words that sound different. Please reassure me that 'poor', 'paw' and 'pour' sound different. Because they are clearly wildly different words but my husband tells me they are the same and mocks my pronunciation mercilessly
