Re: Velar Laterals (was: Yet another ASCII-IPA scheme...)

Well, I sometimes make mine the way you discribe, which is, of course, the
cannonical way.  But I also produce an /S/ sound the same way David is
discribing.  I think the David-style /S/ only shows up in certain
environments -- word-initial, I think -- in fast speech for me.  David seems
to have a more generlized usage from what he discribes.

In spite of it all it's a beautiful world.
