Bilby, if your doctor is prying at those wobbly bits with a sphygmomanometer, perhaps you need a new doctor.
Appears irreversible rolig. I think the group lists feature is still a work in progress.
Bilby, you're right! But how do I delete "my" magnum?
This is a fine list, though I have to agree with rolig, that there is nothing intrinsically horrible about the -gn- combination. Difficulties in pronunciation seem to arise only when the -gn- combo appears too close to another 'n' or 'm'.
IGNOU? An acronym for the Indira Gandhi National Open University. It's now forgotten, is the name and only referred to as IGNOU
Magnum was added a while back so there must be a bugnum in the group list feature that allows words to be added more than once.
I do, sionnach. I can never concentrate when those doctor persons are prying at my wobbly bits.
Bilby: do you mean sphygmomanometer? This is a word I have difficulty pronouncing. Magnanimity is another.
I do have a list somewhere called 'My karma ran over my dogma'.
there are all those greek words with -gm-: dogma, phlegmatic, syntagmatic, paradigmatic... Could be a different list.
How about sphigmomenometer? Is gm as unpalatable as gn?
Haha, g-no way! What can I say?!
Yeah, I know, bilby, the "g" is supposed to be silent, but I like to say "g-nome", "g-nu", etc. -- because I can! Why let all that training with Slavic consonant clusters go to waste just because I'm speaking English? Also, Ravages, listed "gnat", so I figured it was OK.
rolig, please tell me how you pronounce gnome?
Carthaginian?
I've added a few... but I'm not sure what it is you find so horrible about -gn-. I suppose it's highly subjective.
design?
Yes, so short as to be practically ignaudible.
The schwa is pretty short in bargaining. Is the sound in that word equally offensive?
