Big Crunch, here we come! A new study is implying that the universe may actually be slowing down and that the culmination of the decrease in dark energy could spell a reverse big bang.

    It’s difficult to explain this, but you’re wrong, there is no regional dialect that would pronounce the word this as this, because it is awkward.

    Both are interdental fricatives, but this is always done with a voiced dental fricative, a voiceless would be the way people pronounce thistle. Now try to say this place but say this without the le on thistle.

    I’m on mobile and can’t type out the IPA symbols, but I did take linguistics classes so I know the difference between the two phones, whereas you seem to equate the phones with their orthography.

      I really dont know what to say lol. This sounds exactly the same to thistle to me. I went and researched the voiced and voiceless th, but none of the explanations really tracked with how I say th and how i hear it said around me. To me, “voiced th” is simply me not whispering.
