capntransit, 4 months ago @velobetty Cute, but does the word really sound that different from "announcements" in your dialect?

capntransit, 4 months ago @velobetty In my dialect (Hudson Valley), "unnouncements" would be pronounced almost the same as "announcements."

velobetty, 4 months ago @capntransit Sorry, sounded like you were making a joke. I guess you'd need to pronounce it carefully. UN-nouncenments.

capntransit, 4 months ago @velobetty Oh no, I try not to make fun of anyone else's dialect. I just thought they might sound more different to you!

velobetty, 4 months ago @capntransit The—sort of—joke I was making is that they sound like useful information but they're unnecessary so the word sounds the same.

capntransit, 4 months ago @velobetty Yes, I hate those! I think it would be more effective if they sounded really different, but I like the idea of coining a word for them!
