Heard on The Judges II: "confront" like "consult"

[Wilson Gray]

Twenty-ish, black female speaker:

"I wanted to leave. I could tell that it was going to be a _conFRONT_
[,k at n 'fr^nt]."


In like manner, the human resources at my HMO use "conSULT" [.k at n
's^lt] for "consultation."

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
