Talk:Three Hundred Words

Spelling
"..of knickers and ass," Is 'ass' correct? In UK English 'arse' is the correct spelling, further, it scans with 'grass'. Archolman User talk:Archolman 16:54, 6 April 2015 (UTC)


 * If you listen to the piece, Harper clearly says "ass" (0:33) to rhyme with "grass" (0:26). Remember he has a Northern accent, so the a is short and is pronounced as is the a in "at" as opposed to "art". I hope that helps. Stephenjh (talk) 17:29, 6 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree, his northern accent would definitely pronounce 'arse' as 'ass'. Of course, a northerner would read grass and arse with a short 'a' as a matter of course. Southerners have to wait until they reach the word 'ass' for it

to become clear.
