I'm sorry if you feel I spoke too stongly, but if so it is because I feel strongly that your attempt to impute moral value to a vocal feature you know little about is unfounded and frankly oppressive.
If you'd like to have a conversation about that, you can start by defining your terms: Who or what "warrants" an arbitrary feature of your speech in whatever way you feel the fry is "unwarranted"?
- bluthru 13y agoI'm not sure how you're bringing morality into this. I'm simply viewing speech as communication and nothing more. Vocal fry increases noise in the signal to noise ratio, and I don't see how that could be useful.
