      I have _never_ heard "you've got another thinG coming" ... is that really a think?

      How would you know if you'd heard it? They're pronounced the same in spoken English. But yes, it's a think.

      Unless you pause between the words, can you hear the difference between "thing coming" and "think coming"? In my accent at least, they're indistinguishable. Of course, a lot of other things are also indistinguishable when I say them!

      I've been saying both out loud repeatedly for the last two minutes, but I put a glottal stop in "think coming" but not "thing coming".

      I do the same ... maybe we sound too posh?

      Yes... though I'm not sure I was ever "educated" to speak, as such, and I didn't inherit the dialects of my family or of the area I grew up in...

          From what I can tell living as an outsider in the UK, "educated" accents are a product of socialisation rather than explicit instruction. I have a friend who went to Oxford and lost a lot of their Birmingham accent, but that's not because Oxford has elocution lessons.

          It's a shame accents don't come across in normal text. Why can't we be having this conversation in IPA?
