        No reason to accept reality and act accordingly. That's something I've learned from this election.

        I am convinced, but not because of the spectrogram, that's not a prototypical velar pinch

      @ArrantPedantry Yup, the once or twice I heard him say it it seemed obvious to me (even without a spectrograph).

      "I don't care" it sounds like bigly to me, and he even said biggerly today.
