hopeless how can ryulong have the nerve to meddle in linguistic topics without knowing linguistics at all considering his anti intellectual attitude combined with pages per day edits i cannot imagine how tremendous damage he has done to wikipedia first of all he must learn the difference between phonology and phonetics that's a minimum requirement to join the discussion everyone in the field knows the distinction showing that ryulong's accusation against me is groundless is as easy as pie just check john r bentley's a linguistic history of the forgotten islands for example you can find the spellings i used above the real problem is that the book is a serious linguistic work if ryulong reads it without even knowing the distinction between phonology and phonetics he will taint wikipedia with another bunch of errors
