R!:My rabbit aches!!**

The following pair is tricky only for myself:

What's the big issue about this pair, then?


In Chinese, the difference would not be so much that of /t/ vs /d/, but of /th/ vs /t/.

This is, both are voiceless stops, but the first one (th) is aspirated.

And yes, I admit it:

• Sometimes I forget the aspiration.

• If it wasn't enough, I live with 2 rabbits.

• In my mother tongue, conejo (rabbit) also refers to the **female reproductive organ**, so uttering "my rabbit aches" is embarrasingly ambiguous.

I'm posting here the testimony, for eternity to witness:

What will be next?

If I solution some technical issues, and start posting photoshopped pictures of myself, I might even become some kind of blogging demigoddess!

T!: Gotta SHIT or defend your THESIS?
