    It’s one of those “City on a Hill” sentiments. It upsets boomers to acknowledge that not a lot of “experimenting” has veen going on since the civil rights era.

      I understand everything, but not the older German “s” instead of usual English one. And that use of “u” is awful. Especially since it’s inconsistent. Why are you doing this?

        ſ feels more fun, and u in uı is because, at least in how I speak, aı feels too “open” for how I pronounce my “I” sounds. Like spelling light as “laıt” feels way wider in the chest than how I say it.
