Re: [Tlhingan-hol] qepHom 2015 with Marc Okrand

Here in England also. E.g. "drawring" for "drawing", and the formerly common BBC radio pronunciation "India-r-Office".

The "French j" sound occurs in my pronunciation of English as the "s" in "measure" and "leisure", and is heard (transcribed as "zh") as Ж in Russian names. It is like "sh" but voiced.

This sounds much like my wife (from New Zealand).  She drops many of her "r"s, but then I found them
popping up where they shouldn't be... and of course she denies it.
"car" becomes "ca"
"saw" becomes "soar"
...
what TKD means where it says "never ever as in French /jour/."
