minus-square@cynarlinkEnglish38•1 year agoFor those that haven’t tried. See how far you can get reading this poem out loud… The Chaos
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•1 year agoWhat’s up with made/bade? I pronounce those the same way.
minus-square@Veltosslink14•1 year agoIt’s a 100 year old poem, I’m guessing it was pronounced different in that area at the time.
minus-square@Rehwynlink3•edit-21 year agoBade is the past tense of “bid” and is technically pronounced the same as “bad”. Link: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/bade Essentially, the pronunciation follows the same pattern as words like “sit - sat”, but the spelling pattern follows a different Old English pattern.

It is a particularly masochistic poem to read aloud. 😁
