[Ads-l] Trivia - Heard, used as adjectives: _checked, sculped, heinous_

[Wilson Gray]

pronounced as

[tSEkt, sk^lpt, hEIni at s].

"checkt jacket, sculpt whorls, heinious crime"


The first two work like _striped_ for me:

"check-ed jacket, sculp-ed whorls."

( I had to Google it, but, sure enough, in Wiktionary:

sculped

English [edit]

Verb [edit]

sculped
     1. simple past tense and past participle of _sculp_

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sculped

Youneverknow.)


When I was in grade school, "heenious" was the preferred mispronunciation
of _heinous_ and not "heinious."

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
