Rhymes:English:-eɪtəʊ and Rhymes:English:-eɪtoʊ and possibly others
Why do we differentiate between Rhymes:English:-eɪtəʊ and Rhymes:English:-eɪtoʊ? It is the same phoneme with the same rhymes and only differs in the slight vowel quality of the exact pronunciation. Shouldn't the latter redirect to the former and the rhymes be merged? --WikiTiki89 05:55, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- Indeed. It looks like the latter page was created by an IP unfamiliar with our practices regarding Rhymes: pages. Merge per nom. - -sche (discuss) 06:00, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- Which, spelt out for posterity, are: the Rhymes pages use RP vowels in cases where the RP and GenAm vowels are not phonemically different. - -sche (discuss) 19:44, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- Support merging (I don't much care how they are merged, as long as they are merged). Mglovesfun (talk) 22:51, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- Merged (on the RP page, per established practice). - -sche (discuss) 08:55, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
