In order to "smell of this," wouldn't you need to rub "this" (whatever it may be) all over your body? ;)


Thanks, Throaty - interesting lessons here.

What's the reason/phoneme/explanation why some people pronounce "whale" and "wail" the same way? I tend to say "whale" with more of an 'h' sound to it (hard to explain in writing), but my husband mocks me mercilessly for it.

Depends on whether or not you are and endowed professor :bomb2:
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
