I’m not saying you’re wrong, but not being able to participate in name-based targeted consumerism is the worst reason I can possibly think of to argue against having a unique name.

“Learn” and “bird” are pronounced very differently depending on the accent of English. Wiktionary has “learn” RP pronunciation listed as lɜːn and American as lɝn, although personally I don’t believe in ɝ so I would write it as lɹn and bɹd.
Slight rant about American English IPA, but Wiktionary even has American “bird” listed as bɜɹd, which is frankly ridiculous. Say bɜɹd out loud and it sounds absolutely insane. Be’rd. Nobody says bɜɹd, it’s gotta be bɹd. English spelling treats R as a consonant, but American English functionally treats it like a vowel. If we spelled with R the same way it’s pronounced, it would be brd, lrn, teachr, wrking, etc. Not suggesting a spelling reform, because the current system works so well for uniting different accents of English, but it seriously bugs me when people talk about how American R (ɹ) is a consonant. It’s not!


Better to just use browser history, OP could search “YouTube cream” and likely find it. I had to change my settings to stop Firefox from deleting my oldest pages in history though.


It’s not as bad as it looks, the photo is at an angle. Look at the horizon or the trees. The actual ledge leans back


Chinese characters were also used in Vietnamese and Korean until surprisingly recently.
Yeah if anything I’d expect a coal mining museum to be way more aware of the impact of their energy source and be more likely to switch to solar.
YouTube killed mine recently ;-; what do you use?
