That's it. A head without a cerebrum becomes a skull. That's why pirates are so cruel, but they kill any minute obstacle; the emotional area is totally void. So, in a skull if theirs we shall find only looted gold ir air...
Thanks for the cerebral video !
🤣

[meridegreis]

I’ve always thought that the “e” of emotional was pronounced \ i \ 🤔

[liannanaa]

Rachel, how do you respond when someone says they hated their food as a joke

[MPhonemicEnglish]

A good learning opportunity. Does it relate to the cerebellum or the cerebrum?
Commonly pronounced with the 1st /e/ silent and the 2nd /e/ long BUT you can pronounce the 2nd /e/ short and nobody will know that you aren't using Merriam Webster's schwa pronunciation (ˈse-rə-brəl'). The IPA /ə/, /ɪ/, /e/ sounds are often interchangeable without anybody noticing. This is too messy. It's best to use the Long /e/ and avoid the mess.
'srrεbrul' (7M Phonetic English) Why two /r/'s? One is a vowel. The other is a consonant styled /r/.
Oh this is such a mess. The Clowns will tell you about "Bossy R's" aka "R-controlled vowels" and it's all bunk because R is the only vowel sound in 'dirt', 'hurt', 'nerd' or 'word', whereas in words like 'ward', 'lord', 'beard', 'scared', or 'hard', it's the 2nd vowel in a two vowel sequence known as a diphthong. The Clowns invent all this "Bossy R" trash because they don't want you discovering that /r/ is a vowel that we also sometimes use vocal tricks to make function as a consonant. What's the difference between 'curl' & 'krul'? I think it's ONLY the length of time that we sustain the /r/ vowel! How do put that in writing? 'krul' vs 'krrul'? The /u/ is superflous since we're really just pronouncing the Dark L, so 'krl' & 'krrl' would equal 'krul' & 'curl' respectively. I'm not sure. It needs more study. Maybe 'krul' & 'krrl' are more accurate. The goal is to provide letters that will illicit a correct pronunciation but when the difference between two pronunciations is this complex, it goes beyond that scope of letters. How would you pronounce 'little' vs 'littul'? So is the /u/ really there?

[denisposcai]

We have this word in Portuguese as well, cause cérebro means brain. But cerebral means that something is related to the brain we don't use it to tell some one is intelligent.

[jojomorgan]

I thought this time we got the medical word but it's an another practical word.
I guess this example might work.
"Almost all of business people are cerebral."

[rhowlett]

In Spanish the brain is "el cerebro"!

[PauloPereira-jjjv]

It's funny that English language uses the word "brain", and at the same time uses the word "cerebral"... wich means something related to the brain (cerebrum = brain, in Latin)

[pianistlover]

The same in Spanish. Spelled the same and means the same. Just different pronunciations. Brain is cerebro y Spanish. 😅
