This is not pronounced as แอบ-เปิ้น. Audio examples of the pronunciation can be found here, here, on Forvo, etc. Wyang (talk) 01:22, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Understood and I am sorry, I am a beginner in Thai. FanNihongo (talk) 01:23, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Use of line breaks (br) when adding stroke orders

Hi FanNihongo, I see that you create and add a lot of stroke order animations, and I really appreciate that work you do! I just have a quick suggestion about when you use <br> to add spaces afterwards. I believe that solution is not ideal because its effect changes depending on the size of the user's screen. So for example, if you look at [1] on your phone's browser, you will see a ton of white space at the end of the translingual section, because the images were already stacked at the top so there is no need for more line breaks at the bottom. I believe a better solution would be to place {{clear}} at the bottom instead of the line breaks, as this seems more compatible across browsers. I recently did this on the entry for 図, and it might not be perfect but I think it makes for a better reading experience, especially on mobile. Thanks again for your work.

Ok, thank you for your cheers, and for your observation, I never though about that. From now on I will use {{clear}} instead of <br>. FanNihongo (talk) 20:46, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

No worries, that sounds good! It seems that {{clear}} still leaves one extra blank line on mobile but I'm not sure how to prevent that. It's not a big deal though so I think it should be fine. Thanks again, ChromeGames923 (talk) 23:34, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

"General American" Pronunciation at is

Here you added {{a|GA}} {{IPA|en|/ɪs/}}. As a US native speaker, I can say that I've never heard an unvoiced consonant in that word from any other US native speaker. In fact, that pronunciation has been used to caricature foreign accents like that of Germans.

Adding pronunciations with phonemic distinctions that don't exist in your native language is inherently risky, especially when you're dealing with subtle differences between regional varieties. Please be more careful. Chuck Entz (talk) 19:28, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

(Comment copied from Mahagaja's talk page): You grew up speaking Spanish, which doesn't have a distinction between voiced and unvoiced sibilants- so your ear is simply not trained to hear the difference. English in the US does have that distinction, so your pronunciation will be recognized universally by native speakers here as foreign. I already brought this up on your talk page a month ago, so this should not come as a surprise. Given the greater number of vowel and consonant distinctions in US English as compared to Spanish, you really shouldn't be adding General American pronunciations at all.

Alright, because of what you comment, from now on I will proceed on a different way: I will consult with native or competent speakers, about the correct pronunciation of a word, and if they give me arguments, then those arguments will have more weight than my arguments.
