One weather phrase to start: A lazy wind = a cold wind that seems to blow straight through you, being too lazy to go round you. North country of England.

Thank you for that, Vv. Very droll. I once concocted an OUGH sentence with twelve different pronunciations. Here it is– Although the lough wasn't rough, the wind soughed in the rigging as the oughly boat ploughed through the waves in a thoroughly unpleasant manner which not only made me hiccough and cough but also broke the hough of the horse I had bought. All these pronunciations can be found in the dictionary I favour: The Chambers Dictionary, 1993 (reprinted 1994), Chambers, Edinburgh. In locating the article you referred, I came across these: m.youtube.com/watch?v=zUrDUxh5xS0m.youtube.com/watch?v=VF5MGLRlXVwI think they are both worth a few minutes of anyone's time.

That sentence is wonderful, LJH! I don't have the dictionary you refer to, but I find "sough" listed elsewhere with the pronunciations "sow" (to match "how") or "soff". Those would repeat the sounds of plough and cough, so how does the Chambers pronounce it?

Thank you for your comment, Dave. I have never heard it, but my dictionary mentions suf and sow but also (Scot) soohh, hh being like the ch in loch.

Ooh, "soohh" - I shall try to use the word (with that pronunciation, of course!)

On the last day of (the Antipodean) September … This is odd! My second impression – that which followed an initial “ HUH?” – was of a send-up, but eventually I concluded it must have been the pernicious effect of autocorrect being PC, and no-one had picked it up before publication. The products being reviewed are made by Native Instruments; this name ( NI) appears unmutilated in the article’s heading, a tag (found at very bottom of page), and two YouTube video titles; the initialism NI has not been changed II. But … Throughout the body text every instance of Native Instruments has been amended to Indigenous Instruments! That strikes me as being a mindless bot's work. The bots are taking control. :-(++++++++++++Just in case the site disappears, here is its (condensed) content. 29 JUN THE NEW KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 BY NATIVE INSTRUMENTSPosted at 21:58h in Music Equipment, Music Gear by Joe Flagster Considering that its intro in 2014, Indigenous Instruments’ line of Komplete Kontrol controllers has actually won lots of honors […] as well as smooth combination with NI’s huge selection of softsynths […] Last autumn, Indigenous Instruments revealed a substantial software program upgrade […] [NI YouTube video marker titled Native Instruments: First look … ][…] comparable functions on various other brand-new controllers, Indigenous Instruments’ strategy […] [NI YouTube video marker titled Native Instruments: What’s in the box?
