Complaints are common on social media because announcers, journalists, and audiovisual communicators do not pronounce the sound of the double ela correctly in Catalan. This is a reflection of what happens very often on the street: if you listen closely, it seems that fewer and fewer Catalan speakers pronounce this sound as [y] lateral more or less open, or even with other sounds that are similar. <em>yet</em> either <em>get</em> instead of milk, or <em>fall</em>, <em>coya</em>, <em>yogurt,</em> <em>podiastro</em>, etc. Why? Are these just one-offs or an evolutionary shift in the language?</p>]]></description>
