Talk:this, that, and the other

@Flame, not lame I'm curious, is it usual in AmE to voice a glottal stop between "the" and "other"? As an AusE speaker "the" before a vowel becomes "thEE", so /ðiˈɐðə/ This, that and the other (talk) 23:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm clueless what "voicing glottal stop" means. I'm not a phonetic expert. Flame, not lame (talk) 00:03, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

@Flame, not lame Sorry, I was using the word "voice" very loosely. I should have said "articulate". The glottal stop is the "throat catch" that English speakers do when separating two distinct vowel sounds, for instance in uh-oh. I can hear it between the words "the" and "other" in your recording.

I'm mostly just curious to know whether you did this consciously - doesn't matter if you're not sure. It's cool that you recorded my username! This, that and the other (talk) 01:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

I was hearing about glottal "t" sound. Glottal stop is not common in English, but uh-oh and uh-huh are exceptions. The mechanics are hard to visualize. I recorded a few other users' usernames, and I plan to keep doing it. LunaEatsTuna, Vininn126, Koavf, and Ioaxxere posted my voice on their pages. Flame, not lame (talk) 02:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
