I know Jim—I didn't want to rehash it, just being provocative.
The vowel in ''car'' and ''cart''.
And his characters tend to make rare phonemic distinctions:
- Don from Wales distinguishes between "pane" [pe:n] and "pain" [p{In].
- Al from New York distinguishes non-rhotically between "father" [fA:D@] and "farther" [fA@D@].
- Joe from Eastern New England distinguishes rhotically between "horse" [hOrs] and "hoarse" [hors].
And as Kirk pointed out on one of those Unilang threads, this person seems to have a real interest in English dialects. It's a pity that he has dedicated his linguistic potential to the service of the Dark Side (as it were).

Yup, sadly there'd be no problem with most of the topics he presents, if he would just stop pretending to be people he wasn't. For instance, instead of saying "I'm _____ from _____ and I have ________ merger/split" he could just introduce the topic and say "I'm not from there but I think _______ is interesting--anyone from _______?" There's no reason to make up fake names but he keeps on doing it regardless.
I thought he had the chance to change after his apology on Unilang but as I mentioned before it was apparently only because he'd been caught--he didn't stop his ways.

Wait a minute ... Are we talking about the same person? ...
:smirk)
Funny that. Yes, I was about to say the very same thing. So many different names but always the same game: "I'm from here I speak like this ..." He's also keen on spelling reform. He seems to like posting spelling reform proposals just so that he can pretend to be someone else for whom the proposal would not work.

Yes, and those "responses" often come only minutes after the original post, refuting it all too well for someone who only had two minutes to write up a response.

L. Craig Schoonmaker's respellings are sometimes moderate and sometimes extreme. Anyway, he surely makes peeple think. His home page is updated every day. What a hard work!
What do you think of <Wine Wensday> and <Food Friday>?

This person also tends to do a lot of plagiarism. If anyone wants examples here are some:

Um, trying to attract attention to yourself by impersonating others is pretty lame. That wasn't me above.

We should all assume that this is not the real Jim, considering that someone also posted this very same thing under my name earlier tonight.

I can comfortably assume that it's not the real Jim as I have no recollection of posting that.

Yes, the SpaceFlight troll sometimes copies and pastes things from Wikipedia and puts them here as "posts" (like the one that kept on popping up a few months ago about how "people who don't <cot-caught> merge need to get their ears checked" or something like that--straight from a Wikipedia talk page).
