Hello, I'm a phonetician. You may know me from my hits:

"... it's the scientific study of speech."

"No, phonics is a reading strategy."

... and my latest chart-topper: "Correcting someone's pronunciation is only appropriate in a pronunciation instruction setting."

As someone who argues against prescriptive approaches to language and celebrates linguistic diversity, I’m not attacking ‘Standard English’ or people who use it. Neither am I saying ‘anything goes’. I’m simply suggesting that we challenge the default position of dominance...
