| A good opportunity to point people to the paper with my favorite title of all time: "How to wreck a nice beach you sing calm incense" https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1040830.1040898 |

| For folks like me puzzling over what the correct transcription of the title should be, I think it's "How to recognize speech using common sense" |
| |
| ▲ | strken 20 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Thank you! "Calm incense" makes very little sense when said in an accent where calm isn't pronounced like com. | | |
| ▲ | solardev 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | How is calm pronounced in those accents? | | |
| ▲ | strken 11 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | In Australian English, calm rhymes with farm and uses a long vowel, while com uses a short vowel and would rhyme with prom. (I know this doesn't help much because some American accents also rhyme prom with farm). Consider the way "Commonwealth Bank" is pronounced in this news story: https://youtube.com/watch?v=MhkuHGRAAbg. An Australian English speaker would consider (most) Americans to be saying something like "Carmenwealth" rather "Commonwealth". See also the pronunciation of dog vs father in https://www.goalsenglish.com/lessons/2020/5/4/australian-eng.... It really ruins some poetry. | |

| ▲ | yokljo 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | I've been thinking about this for a minute, and I think if an American were to say "why", and take only the most open vowel sound from that word and put it between "k" and "m", you get a pretty decent Australian pronunciation. I am an Australian so I could be entirely wrong about how one pronounces "why". |

| ▲ | wdaher 17 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | This is the correct parsing of it.
(I can't take credit for coming up with the title, but I worked on the project.) | |
| ▲ | codedokode 18 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I only got the "How to recognize" part. Also I think "using" should sound more like "you zinc" than "you sing". | |
| ▲ | efilife 20 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Thanks. Now I know that I'm not that stupid and this actually makes no sense | | |
| ▲ | chipsrafferty 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | It actually does make sense. Not saying you're stupid, but in standard English, if you say it quickly, the two sentences are nearly identical. | | |
| ▲ | mjw_byrne 19 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They're pretty different in British English, I struggled to figure it out until I started thinking about how it would sound with an American accent. | |
| ▲ | codedokode 18 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | But in "you sing", "s" is pronounced as "s", not as "z" from "using", right? | | |
