bnmjy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The English definite article, the word the. The most commonly used word in our language. It doesn't even have gender, unlike say French. Yeah, so much for being progressive, you baguette-sniffing gender-assuming shitlords. Anyway, the word "The" represents English nicely by graphemes (letters) and phonology (sound). "The" contains "t" and "e," respectively, the most common consonant letter and the most common vowel letter in the English language. The "t" combines with "h" to make a voiced fricative, or rather the "th-sound." English is one of the few Germanic languages (i.e. German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, etc..) to retain the th-sound. The "e" in represents a schwa, or rather uh sound, which is the most common vowel sound uttered in English. It's like the word "the" is presenting English's most common alphabetical and phonological features while also showcasing one of its peculiarities. Well . . . not really a wall a text, but I never thought I'd be given context to write this tidbit. Thank you, @Kudasai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game reminds me of old newground flash games, as it's created by people from the site's heyday. I wish I had known about the kickstarter, as I would donated. The fully fledged game is supposed to come out next year, but kickstarters never release on time. Edited July 15, 2021 by bnmjy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
