http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottal_stop Basically the break between two consecutive vowel sounds. Commonly used by people who are incapable of pronouncing consonants mid-word, though it does also come into play for the rest of us . Often problematic for singers...

But as the current generation game consoles are called "next gen", wouldn't it be suitable for us, the current generation game players, to call ourselves the next generation? That way we can uphold our proud traditions on our own.

Re: Glottal stop.
So it's just a pause, then? What's the big deal about it?
Oh, and why is that problematic for singers? (Hums some Bach (I think it's Bach): A-a-a-a-a-a-alles was O-o-o-o-o-o-odem hat… Lots of small pauses between the vowels there.)

We're the last generation of gamers? The end of the world is near!

Should we cover our heads with paper bags?

Take the Latin word Kyrie. Three syllables, and singers just love to sling a "y" sound in between the second and third ones (so that it sounds as "kee-ree-Yae" rather than "kee-ree-ae"). |
