How do you leave feedback for what is just a bad pronunciation? The options I can see are:
This is not english!
Wrong caption?
Wrong accent?
Poor sound quality.
Poor video quality.
Crude/shocking content.
I don't think any of those fit what I'm hearing for https://youglish.com/getcid/3905773/coxswain https://youglish.com/getcid/3905773/coxswain
- hathawsh 7y agoI agree there's an issue; "mispronounced" should be one of the feedback options. The third video for "especially" pronounces the word as "ekspecially". https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=478&v=Td2hfdXQ5x8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=478&v=Td2hfdXQ5x... Love the site, though! Great work.
- georgeam 7y agoI would also like to see a feedback option for wrong word (same spelling). For example I searched for "melee" meaning (close to) "chaotic fight", and one of the entries referred to a person called "MeLee". It should be possible to flag this and either automatically or manually review the entry.
- remedan 7y agoMaybe the idea is to be strictly descriptivist? The way people actually pronounce the word _is_ the correct way. That's why you can listen to multiple examples and see what the common pronunciation is.
