triple-s phonetics

by brisss (pronounced brie)

many people ask, "brisss, how does triple-s phonetics work?"

the answer is simple.

when a word contains three s's they become silent.

this leaves the brie.

at this point people usually ask, "brisss, but why?"

i dont know how to answer that.

because it has three s's.

we just covered this.

anyway.

the important thing to understand is that triple-s phonetics only applies when appropriate.

for example, my name is brisss.

therefore it applies.

some people then ask, "brisss, how do u know it applies?"

well.

look at it.

i dont know what else to tell u.

at this point the conversation usually becomes very repetitive.

people ask things like, "brisss, can u explain the rule?"

i just did.

people also ask, “brisss, can u provide another example?"

why?

u already have one.

most people dont even have one example.

i have a perfectly good example right here.

eventually someone says, "brisss, thats not how pronunciation works."

okay.

then why is my name brie?

Exactly.

i feel like a lot of these questions answer themselves if people spend a little more time with them.

for example, "brisss, why does the s become silent?"

because there are three of them.

if it wanted to be heard, it should have arrived earlier.

honestly, i think people overcomplicate phonetics.

sometimes a word simply knows what it wants to be called.

my name wants to be called brie.

i respect that.

i hope this clears things up.
