I might not agree completely but the logic is sound

My favourite Welsh word is pili-pala (butterfly).

The worst is cyllell (knife).

Farting out of the side of your mouth twice after a short vowel is impossible. I've never once managed it, so I'll do without a knife when dining out in Wales, rather than ask for one. 🫢

Pizzazz is a fine contender. Now I want to call a dog that.

A while back I wrote about the origin of “pizzazz.”

Ok, but "syzygy" has three y's and no other vowels. I mean, c'mon.

Solid logic but I do think it is less fun to say aloud

I agree with this sentiment at least eleven twelfths.

maybe not the best but my favorite english word is "wrought"

4/7 of the letters are "silent" and i think that's a really impressive ratio tbh

Twelfths is more fun to say. Pizzazz is superficial and tacky.

Not sure if twelfths is worse than sixths

I came here to say exactly this! I can get from f to th fine, but from s to th and back again... terrible!

lyanca.bsky.social•11 days ago

Or eighths

darrincalvin.bsky.social•12 days ago

Twelfths has the word "elf" in it so it can't be THAT bad.

I’d volunteer “discs” as the worst word. It requires an uncomfortable amount of enunciation!

No, the best English word is “mogadored” followed by “chinwag.”

The best American word is “all y’all” followed by “fixinta.”

It just makes sense. No notes.

I've been trying to construct a rebuttal for several minutes but I have nothing.
