Judging by everything else you said, you're clearly an expert on the subject. However I feel no difference. Is it because you're in Canada (saw your profile =P) and I'm Scottish? Also one of my English friends has it the same.Originally posted by: KitKat
Say the word 'pat' and then the word 'spat' with your hand in front of your mouth. You'll notice that you feel a little puff of air from the p when you say the word 'pat' but not when you say the word 'spat'.
I just watched the promo again.
It's pretty useless except for the fact that it's getting the Naruto name out there. No real footage or dub voices (does anyone have any idea when this'll happen?).
Also, the mispronouncing Naruto's name thing doesn't really bother me. Besides, it's just the Toonami announcer. Right?
some people still haven't grasped this idea yet.Originally posted by: Y
This isn't being done by the same group that did One Piece.

That's a good point. I should have qualified that to apply to North American dialects of English. Small features like this are the ones that change the most between dialects, since they don't affect meaning. Just out of curiosity, do you pronounce them both aspirated, or both unaspirated? And I guess this is a little off-topic.... I created a thread for linguistic discussion a while ago, so if you want you can respond there.
