A US air force civilian contractor had become disoriented recording data at an airport in California last year when she walked into a jet’s rotating propeller and was killed, officials said on Friday.

In a statement outlining the findings of a report into the contractor’s death, the air force materiel command said that 32-year-old Stephanie Cosme was mortally injured on 7 September when she inadvertently walked into the rotating propeller of an MQ-9A that was parked at Gray Butte airfield.

    Not a diphthong. A digraph.

    Ah, yes, I love the flavo-ur of tomatoes. Their odo-ur is quite nice.

    The “ou” digraph was only merged as a single “o” where it represents a diphthong. Way to instantly discredit yourself.

      … what? You seem to be unaware of what a diphthong is. “ou” is a digraph, which in words like “flavour” tend to “represent” a monophthong (or a syllabic rhotic in GenAm). You clearly do not know enough about the linguistics you’re trying to argue about.
