#leologisms#actually go and watch native speakers speaking for any amount of time and youd see that its just. completely untrue#like yeah man japanese phonology is transcribed with a special /Q/ mora for fun and not because the mora changes realisation drastically#in different contexts. yeah man actually it really is just /ʔ/ and linguists are just fucking with you. yeah man#dont worry about the fact that if you watch native speakers talking you can literally SEE the succeeding consonant get geminated#and that if you tried to actually pronounce まったく as /maʔtaku/ youd find it both extremely awkward to produce AND extremely awkward#sounding. yeah man no it really is just /ʔ/. dont worry about it.#AS ALWAYS anything people say on reddit should never be taken seriously but. pressure release valve. i get irritated
