This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.
@sw: Ignore him, he isn't worth it. If you ever meet him, refer to my advice that I gave you before on this thread. And while you're at it, cut his tongue out. And break his fingers in case he's on a computer.

Indy - "Mr. Linguist"? I don't know about that; I'm more of a dabbler .

That is essentially correct; the glottal stop is used to abbreviate certain sounds but cutting off the air at the back of the throat. Glottal stops can also be used when Anglisising foreign words such as "gherkin" and "khan" for example. At least, that's the way they would have pronounced at one stage, but the "gh" in "gherkin" is now a hard "g", as is the "kh" in "khan", probably due to their full assimilation into the English language.
When you see a gh or kh combination in a word, the intent is to soften that glottal stop a bit so that it sounds more like a half attempt at making the sound itself.
