I hate this faggy grammar jargon. Everyone knows the difference intuitively but nobody knows which of these convoluted names is which.

because the former is in their language whether the latter isn't? were you hit in the head with a comically large frying pan as a child?
>everyone knows the difference intuitively
if that were true, then nobody would have problems distinguishing certain sounds from others. you're retarded.

why can chinese pronounce r and l separately in their language but not in any other language

don't know, its just is how it is.

Everyone who speaks English does. You're referring to English-learners. And they're not helped by these jerkoff names anyway.

riddle me this then how would you describe the difference between the in 'thin' and the in 'that'?
both are dental. both are fricatives. the ony difference is voicing; the former is voiceless, the latter voiced
so it would make sense and be incredibly simple to describe it thus:
"the in 'thin' is voiceless, but in 'that' it is voiced"
it's not confusing at all. one you vibrate your vocal cords while uttering, the other you dont. if someone cant understand that, they're probably legitimately disabled

>how would you describe the difference between the in 'thin' and the in 'that'?
You just did.

>the ony difference is voicing
this isn't true for english
but that's the convention yeah

because humans learn producing sound by imitating the sounds their parents make and the window for that is short only small children can learn it effortlessly afterwards we lose our ear for this
