I think they're identical.
- danielheath 5y agoI’m sure, in many accents, that they are. Definitely not the same in Australian Strine.
- hunter2_ 5y agoAs an American, I knew about Straya but this is the first I've heard of Strine. Or should I say Murican :)
- no_carrier 5y agoThey're identical in Australian English.
- danielheath 5y agoWhich one?
- leephillips 5y agoThey are identical. I think he was making a distinction between {week, weak} on one hand and {wick} on the other (but I was also initially confused by the way he put it). This is a big hurdle for native Spanish speakers as well, because i in Spanish is always pronounced as "ee". There seem to be a lot of embarrassing word pairs around these vowels; sheet, beach, etc.
- dvirsky 5y agoYeah what I meant is that it just increases the possibilities of awkwardness. Piss of cake, piss process, etc.
