Odd. When I go to the link I gave (which launches the video), my comment from five days ago is the third from the top. For those who don't know my real name, it's under "Audrey Nickel" and here's what it says:

"Generally good, but I'd like to hear the distinction between broad "t" and "d" and the English sounds of these letters, which really is quite different. In all three dialects, broad "t" and "d" are pronounced with the tongue against the back of the top teeth, which gives them a very different sound from the English letters, which are pronounced with the tongue tipping off the hard palate."

I don't see any other negative comments, though.

Nope, I can't find you. She's obviously hiding three comments.

I think I heard "tae" with an English "t" (daidí and daideo also have English d's, I think) in Donegal, from an old woman whose main language was Irish. So it's a kind of loanword, even though the vowel of "tea" isn't the same as the vowel of "tae" (I wonder why we don't say "tí" or "tuí" in Irish... Tì is the Scottish Gaelic word for "tea" and this is a real direct loanword).

'Tay' is the Hiberno-English, so I'd imagine that's where it came from.

In which case, the only way to deal with her video is to downvote it. It may seem a little harsh, but if she's not willing to have constructive discussions then she's wasting her own work -- we don't want her video being put out in front of people as a model to follow without qualification.

Sadly, it's been posted at least three times on Duolingo already...
