Upon explaining plosives to his class, the linguistics teacher instantly became covered in spit.

In my idiolect of English, I do not aspirate plosives, and the first part of the word "Australia" rhymes with "cow."

Doesn't a language in which many words end with consonants, like plosives and affricates, sound "harder" than a language in which many words end with a vowel? Which ones are the "rocks"?

I still want to see Sweden and Finland, as one of my favourite fantasy authors is Tove Jansson of Moomintroll fame. It fascinates me that as a Germanic tongue, Swedish has tones and has syllables ending with voiced plosives, as the word "god" for "good." Written Finnish is reminiscent of Japanese in Roman letters.
