P is for PLOSIVE - and the words Practical, Pernicious, Persnickety, Parsimonious, Pandemic, Positivity, Persepolis, Panopoly, Presumptious

Don't you just love all those P words? The syllables roll off your tongue into the air, the vowels serve the consonants, the consonants snap, and by the time the word is said, you feel so good about yourself for knowing how to pronounce it!

At least I do.

P words rock.  They are positive, perky, with an attitude. You don't miss it when someone says a word starting with with the letter P.  It signals strength and point of view. It is loud!

P is a plosive, a voiceless plosive. A puff of air popped out, with no sound behind it. If you do add sound, you roll back the alphabet to the letter B.  Try it.

P,
then
B

P,
then
B

Other plosives -T, D; G, K; F, V
First the voiceless, then the voiced.

Cool, eh?
