| Apr 14, 2020 at 20:01 | comment | added | Juhasz | Perhaps your results in Google differ from mine. For me, Google does not use IPA symbols to transcribe pronunciations. It uses the NOAD system in which "a" is equivalent to IPA's "æ". Try searching for "aid". Does it show "/ād/" or "/eɪd/"? | |

| Apr 14, 2020 at 17:48 | comment | added | Lambie | Alors, on est tous les deux au rancart. Franchement, je m'en fou. Je passe mes journées au téléphone avec mes amis en France ce qui me fait plus de plaisir que de mâcher mes mots sur le site français. Que ce fléau (le covid-19) finisse et tout le monde ira mieux. | |
| Apr 14, 2020 at 17:41 | comment | added | LPH | @Lambie Yes, that as well (structure); I didn't want to go into details. I've been completely ostracized from that site for three months, third time (7 days, 1 month, 3 months). I wonder whether they are not trying to get rid of me forever. | |
| Apr 14, 2020 at 17:34 | comment | added | Lambie | Yes,I'm fine, thank you. Not inspired by French words, exactly, but rather reflecting French sentence structure. I gave up on the French site. Neophytes make me nervous. I am sick of arguing with people whose English (I don't mean you) is ten times worse than my (pretty damn fluent) French. Ze ozzer a's arr: ɑ: British/ʌ, Ame/ and ə, in both I think. :) C'est plus ou moins ça. Stay safe. | |

| Apr 14, 2020 at 17:16 | comment | added | LPH | @Lambie How are you? What do you mean, reads much like French? I really don't get it. If you mean inspired by French words, I'm bound to agree ; it's true to a point, I'm still prone to be influenced by my native language. | |
| Apr 14, 2020 at 17:09 | comment | added | Lambie | Much of your paragraphs reads like French, in fact. | |
