Well, not so much. Because the bible doesn’t mention the dates of life and rule of the two figures, so you have to go outside the bible to find the problem - so it’s not a contradiction in the bible but a contradiction between the bible and other sources.
(And for biblical literalists, there is no contest of course!)
“means they are one consonant” is the perspective of the language’s speakers, not of the actual sounds they are making. The former is a subjective matter, the latter is essentially objective. Whether speakers believe they are saying one consonant or two, a “ts” affricate always consists of stopping the air with the the tongue behind the teeth (the t) and then releasing it with a lot of turbulence with the tongue still behind the teeth (the s). Those sounds are physically distinct, even if speakers think of them as comprising a single logical unit.
This is also consistent with there being a slightly differently pronounced sequence comprising a t and an s sound which is not analysed as a single consonant! Both are two physical sounds.
In my language most native speakers don’t realise that diphthongs are made of two vowel sounds, but they still are :)
Phonetically though, the sound in question is composed of a t and an s sound. You can recognise that regardless of your own language.
Ts is an affricate, composed of a stop and fricative with the same place of articulation. The analysis is similar to analysing diphthongs as being composed of two vowel sounds.
I do not know that.
Well she went very rapidly from completely unsuspicious to full-on-psychopath and back then, I dunno what to say.
Depends.
What percentage are they on?
Revolting. Next you’re going to try get me with consensual sex in the missionary position for the sole purpose of procreation. Let me tell you, I ain’t getting fooled again!
Under 5%: definite Under 15%: likely Under 50%: sus
Gotta know if it came from a psychopath
It generally doesn’t matter, because if you’re doubtful about it, there is likely no correct answer demanded by the system.
With that one I have reported them but I don’t think anything happened. I don’t remember to which instance the report went though now
I’ve been doing that more after joining the Fediverse but there are a handful of exceptions. One is an absolute nutter who spreads disinformation like it’s butter, and I can’t bring myself to block him because while I’ll never be able to make him stop, at least I can advise others that a) it is false information and b) he is immune to evidence. (It’s an unusual situation where what he says is pretty easy to refute). So I can also help people not to waste their time talking to him (or at least to go in forearmed)
Trying to avoid anthropomorphising something with which you interact via natural language is incredibly laborious, and achieves nothing.
Well, sometimes they do.
All the CEO has to do is say, “I think knowingly causing a disaster is going to be bad for business long term”.
You think they don’t understand that higher prices lead to lower sales?
Thanks for this perspective :) Do you know of any languages which contrast released and unreleased stops?
I guess a difference is that you can’t really have a stop release on its own…
