I like them. I think they show up in media if you look carefully, but otherwise I'd like to see something with standalone focus in them.

A little secret about these long posts: I read everything. I just don't comment unless I feel I can point something out. Take any silence as a "like". Arthur C. Clark once said “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” I woul...

I have seen Semitic languages do some awesome rhymes. Piyyutim as a particular example come to mind. As well, the Quran has whole chapters designed with soft rhymes.

I got started in linguistics by being brought up with exposure to a second language, and my maternal grandmother complimenting me for pronouncing /ʒ/ correctly I think.

I recall the macrons and breves.

Gosh, school. We were taught a second language in school and I hated it.
