Hello and welcome to my user page! I have been an editor on English Wiktionary since 2017, as well as an English Wikipedia editor since 2014, and I am still learning! Feel free to contact me on my talk page if I've made a mistake, if you have any questions, or if you just wanna chat!
I am a native English speaker with a dialect and accent generally characteristic of the Northwestern US. You can see some notes on particular features of my accent below. I've had little exposure to other languages beyond a few years of Spanish and some Mandarin Chinese.
Following this introduction is a set of information and links which I generally find useful to have easily accessible to myself and which may also be helpful to you.

Accent characteristics
- Inside words, it is not uncommon for me to realize /t/ and /d/ as (as in ladder/latter) or less commonly (as in button, which differentiates it from butt in ).
- At the end of words, instances of /t/ are often realized as , such as in wont and combat.
- caught and cot are homophones.
- I frequently realize the cluster ⟨ing⟩, or homophones, as /iŋ/. Examples are thing and ink.
- It is not uncommon for me to realize the cluster ⟨ing⟩ at the end of present participles as /ɪn/, especially in casual or quick speech. The standard representation of this is ⟨in'⟩.
- The term pure is often realized ~ , similarly to pier and peer, which are . A similar thing sometimes happens with cure, realized ~ .
- The vowel /æ/ is raised in environments typical of the Western US, such as before /ŋ/ as well as before /n/ and /m/.
- The vowels /ə/ and /ʌ/ as well as /ɝ/ and /ɚ/ are not actually produced differently. See and Appendix:English pronunciation#cite note-North American er-12.
- The pairs colt/cult, bull/bowl, and poll/pull can be homophones for me, but I can also differentiate bull/bowl and poll/pull in other instances/when careful. This is probably part of the reason poll/pull don't seem to rhyme with bull/bowl for me. Apparently this is called the hull–hole merger.
- As typical for people with accents like mine (per ), I will elide consonant that in the middle of clusters of three of more consonants.
- A particularly noticeable instances of this in my experience is word final /sts/. Here, the realization is sometimes like as might otherwise be expected, but more often it is something like . Part of the reasoning beyond the gemination notation rather than transcribing it as a singleton is that a word like pests ( ~ ) seems distinct to me from a hypothetical word pess which would I would pronounce simply as . Overall, this suggests a downstream, unconscious or nascent consonant length distinction which could become more prominent or conscious in the future. Other words were similar processes occur include rests and heists.
