    technically, the Canadian dipthong is A as in father into U as in put, while the American one is A as in Dad into the E in the. To an American, it sounds closer to oo because of that, but oo is too rounded and tongue too raised. (I’d use the phonetic alphabet for more precision, but I don’t have it installed on this phone)






  • This might sound naive, but what ads? I don’t get ads on my phone, I have functioning adblockers on my browsers, and I use alternate front ends for the occasions I have to access normie social media.

    I don’t watch TV or listen tp the radio, I read books and research papers primarily, and my actual social media use is on the federated options using apps that don’t have ads. I have my phone pretty tightly locked down, so even the apps I use don’t have ads.

    Aside from the occasional product placements in something, I don’t get much exposure to advertising. And before anyone goes there, I work from home and don’t even see billboards. I don’t even get flyers.

    Would I have to change a lot of that to run these tests?
