minus-squaredoleo@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·1 day agoEnglish would benefit from using tilde and other inflection marks, especially to help non natives predict syllable stress. Having words from multiple languages integrated into English means it’s difficult to predict how words will be pronounced.
