Hello M. Iacomi,
You wrote at least the same number of messages as I wrote on
this topic, so why didn't ask first yourself to stop these meesages.
Next please stop to tell me when to write something on this
forum or not. There is a moderator here that is in charge to stop me
at any moment or even to erase me from this forum if necessary.
But viewing your close relation with the 'to stop' verb...I
started to better understand your reactions ....and how it was
possible to 'simply erase' Alex from the r-lang forum without even to
announce him in advance, so please don't propose again the r-lang
forum to somebody else.

You said here that you know very well the spelling of a
word 'tri', that you never used in your day to day life, that you
cannot even pronounce it correctly and you never hear its original
sounds....
This seems for me an incredible reaction that a person can have.
From here my revolt (yes, my revolt that such reaction can exist).
In such a situation any well educated person could ONLY say : "I
have some doubts...because ...and to explain why" (see Piotr reaction
on this). But seems that you are missing some lessons at home or at
the primary school when you arrived to said :
"I can practically confirm you are not aware what you're doing
when speaking _as far as phonology is concerned_"

I told you this, because I asked today 3 persons with
phylological studies at Cluj-Napoca University and they told me that
there is no DIHPTONG in the spelling of 'tri' and asked me : 'but who
said that?'. (Even in this situation I will continue to check with
other persons in order to be 100% sure on this, viewing Piotr remarks
on the delicate situation of the spelling of the ..English 'three').
I don't think that you can feel in what situation you are,
because now you will continue to say as above:
"I can practically confirm that they are not aware what they're
doing when speaking _as far as phonology is concerned_"

But are you aware on what situation you are when you wrote this?
(I suppose not)

Regards,
marius

P.S. : 1) Regarding your 'malitious' remark on :
" brave NW Daco_Romanian native speaker "

(please NOTE that I never used any adjective on your person)

it speaks itself very clear about "the missing link" between
you and the " ...Daco_Romanian native speakers" .
