  The IPA is fantastically interesting.

  I don’t agree with people who think it should replace our standard alphabets and syllabarries (it is jarring, at least in my opinion, to essentially read other people’s accents from written text when they don’t match your own), but it can be pretty useful in some situations. where you’re actually studying accents, or the most common ways things are said in other languages.

  One would think that out of all countries, South Korea should be the least worried about North Korean nuclear attack. They’re next door neighbors a handful of miles apart from each other geographically, and wind exists to carry fallout right back to Kim Jong Un’s house.

  Same reasons it always seems so odd whenever Russia threatens to nuke Ukraine.
