Re: Perfect Pitch

I supposedly have perfect pitch too.  And what am I doing with my life?

Anyway, I have been able to hear differences in phonetics, even though
for most of my life, it just sounded like a speech error.  Like my
close friend's grandmother.  She pronounced "else" with a retroflex
/s/, kinda like Sean Connery does.  I just thought it was a
phonetically harsh "sh".

I just wish phoneticists would decide whether [a] is low back unrounded
or low central unrounded.  If there's much of a difference...
