@futurebird Now I’m intrigued about bilk and silk not rhyming. But I was born in Nebraska. Everything is a homophone for everything to us. 🤷♂️

@maxleibman @futurebird Well it is a red State, so there’s bound to be a lot of homophones

@futurebird @ColesStreetPothole @maxleibman Standard English pronouncing dictionary (one of my favorite reference books) rhymes bilk with milk but notes a regional non-standard pronunciation to rhyme bilk with felt.I used to date someone eons ago whose pickup line was to be able to tell where you were from without asking, after hearing you speak for five minutes. She was a PhD linguist. I flummoxed her because I spoke standard un-regionalized absolutely unaccented standard English because I grew up in a tri-lingual home with parents who insisted on perfect, standardized English. I love regional pronunciations, however, as they feel more perfectly like the Holy Grail of actual American English as the clues to the multicultural history of American English and of those from around the world whose travel shaped they way they are said.
