The most obscene vowel (NSFW Text) - Page 2

Hard vowels, or hard consonants?

"Trollop" has a good offensive sound to it.

Slightly off topic; I learned to spell many words by pronouncing them the way they were spelled rather than the way they sounded. Sometimes the two coalesced.
Bee-ee-ay-you-tiful for example.

However carr-ack-ter, sep-arr-ate and cal-ann-derr were ones I used to highlight the part of the spelling I was likely to get wrong. I don't really say them like that. But learning them that way helped me.

Like learning my Grandparents' telephone number by the sound and rhythm of the way it was said:
Oh One Two-Six-One, Nine-Double-Two-Three.
And that's not classified information any more, as any London Dwellar can tell you. ("01 if you're outside London"?)
