Very confused as to why this is spelt with a P rather than a B if it's supposed to be a heartbeat sound, and she definitely pronounces it with a B... 😄🧐

@barnfell Yep, which is English <b>

[Niamh /ni:v/ Kelly @NeeveK]

@Morrigu_ Yes this was mentioned - that must be why!

[Niamh /ni:v/ Kelly @NeeveK]

@wesley_mlincoln You may have cracked the case!! 🙂

[Niamh /ni:v/ Kelly @NeeveK]

@wesley_mlincoln Ohhhh i didn't know about this!!

[Niamh /ni:v/ Kelly @NeeveK]

@shjsat Yeah, interesting! I guess it's not just her pronunciation but also the fact that as far as I know, in English a heartbeat would be "badam"?

[Niamh /ni:v/ Kelly @NeeveK]

@wesley_mlincoln Yeah, i thought about unaspirated stops but I'm not sure why French would influence this spelling?

The referee is clearly playing for #Roscommon and they get a free out even when *they* tackle #Mayo? This is a joke #GAA

@colingorrie Very cool! The Irish word for 'secret' is 'rún'!

[Niamh /ni:v/ Kelly @NeeveK]

@Gerianam1 Oh no, what? He was the most wonderful Spanish teacher... I didn't hear this news 😢

[Niamh /ni:v/ Kelly @NeeveK]

@moxfyre @germantakeaways @azforeman This is regional; I would guess you're just getting exposed online to a construction that's not used in your dialect: https://t.co/AoSuqWHwGD
