minus-squareMolten_Moron@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoExcellent point, but “would’ve”, “could’ve”, and “should’ve” sound like “would of”, “could of”, and “should of”. So the problem doesn’t lie solely in enounciation.
minus-squarebitchkat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoIf you think “of” and “have” (or it’s contraction) sound alike, you’re part of the problem. “Of” has a softer finish more like “ovf” than “ov”. The transition from ‘o’ to ‘f’ starts hard with a ‘v’ but finishes with a soft ‘f’.
