Have you ever heard how people list the vowels in English as "A, E, I, O, and U, and sometimes Y"? My first grade teacher also said "sometimes W". She is quite literally the one and only singular person I have ever heard say that in my entire life! I can see where it comes from, because adding a W to other vowels changes their behavior. But that's not what makes a vowel, right? It's based on the anatomy of the pronunciation?

So I'm curious. What's your take on W as a sometimes-vowel?

interesting, i've never heard of W being listed as a vowel like that (except in welsh, where the letter does represent a true vowel sound)!

there's a distinction to be made between the orthographic Y/W and their phonetic associates. Y represents either /j/ or /i/, while W is only /w/ in english. /j/ and /w/ block the flow of air, even though they're approximants and therefore don't completely stop the flow the way a plosive like /b/ would. /i/, on the other hand, doesn't block the flow at all and so it's a vowel.

so really, when we say "sometimes Y," what we actually mean is that it's a polyvalent symbol with multiple referents, one of which is a vowel :)

#i've learned w and y as vowels but that's as a chinese-english speaker

Me: I'm not that neurodivergent about LCK players...

My Brain: Show them the chart.

Some anticipated FAQs:

Q: Why is the entire diagram centered on how close people are to Lehends?

A: Because that’s the only thing that matters in life, next question.

Q: Why did you even make this?

A: I found it helpful/interesting for tracking different LCK player’s relations over the past five years and thought it might be helpful/interesting to you all, too.

Q: What’s going on with Canyon and ShowMaker?

A: Divorce / They’re kissing / I had them overlap with each other for simplicity because they’ve been together for a full five years. Together, they have three shared years with BeryL and two shared years with Kellin. Hope that clears things up.

Q: Actually, x is wrong/You forgot x/Why didn’t you include a line to x?

A: Chances are I’m aware of this and deliberately chose not to include it because it didn’t fit well with the diagram. If you think anything on here is genuinely a mistake, feel free to DM me. I’m not really sweating it, though.

Q: Where’s Zeka?? A: Look behind you.

#the only question i have is #software? #what is it

after several discussions that left me baffled, let me throw this out to the masses: do you look at ao3's icons when you're looking for a fic to read?
