Is this a quote? I don’t understand how it doesn’t rhyme.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It does in an American accent, I guess

In my accent (UK), "cross" rhymes with "boss", and "sauce" rhymes with "horse". Pretty sure boss and horse don't rhyme.

If I'm understanding correctly then the words "sauce" and "source" are indistinguishable when spoken by a brit?

[-] StaplesMcGee@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Source will have emphasis on the r.

Its important because if youre at the dinner table and ask for sauce wrong, mum will pass you 273,000 lines of javascript.

That's borderline child abuse

Depends on who you ask.
