Matthew ConroyHey, smart people! You know the sentence "A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as an example of a short sentence containing all 26 letters, yeah? Well, I'm looking for a similar sentence, or two (i.e., it seems hard to fit them all into one sentence without too much silliness), that contain all English phonemes. Someone ought to have some lying around, right? Linguists? Wordplay people? Vocal warmup designers? Share your thoughts with me! (For reference, I found this example list of 44 English phonemenes <a href="https://magoosh.com/english-speaking/44-phonemes-in-english-and-other-sound-blends/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://magoosh.com/english-speaking/44-phonemes-in-english-and-other-sound-blends/</a> )Cheers!<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/wordplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordplay</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/vocalCoach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vocalCoach</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a>

Martin Owens :inkscape:A funny thought happened: How old is rock paper scissors? Then i thought, what would this same game look like to a Paleolithic hunter? Or if I time traveled and wanted to play a game with one could I teach it so it made sense?I think rock. Rock is easy, rocks are rocks. Hand is next, replaces paper. Hand controls rock. Next is flint for scissors. Rock knaps flint, but flint cuts hand and hand controls rock.Rock, hand, flint.<a href="https://floss.social/tags/wordplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordplay</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Paleolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paleolithic</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/game" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#game</a>

Jody HughesCourgette implies the existence of a courge. I’ve seen courgettes big enough that I don’t want to meet a courge, especially late at night when I’m alone on the allotment.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/wordplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordplay</a>

Jody HughesToday I learned that refractory is not related in any way to refract, or even refractor. (A trap for the unwary.)Refract = to deflect the rays of (usually light). It comes from the Latin frangere = to break.Refractory = stubborn, unruly, unmanageable, and comes from the Latin refractarius = stubborn, so it’s a direct import. I imagine it was first used by Oxbridge-educated men as a way of exhibiting their erudition (see what I did there? I mean ‘as a way of showing off what they knew’.)<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/wordplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordplay</a>
