Unlike the watermills typically used for grinding grain, which were usually built taking advantage of the terrain's topography, this one was constructed entirely by hand. Now, the current owners of this engineering marvel, led by Antoni Aguiló, are taking steps to promote its complete restoration and lament the lack of interest from the authorities.</p>]]></description>

It's not that they use strange words or pronounce things very differently from yours, but something about them sounds different. One of the possible reasons why your neighbor speaks differently could be the air conditioning. This phenomenon consists of pronouncing words like 'profit', 'rabbit', 'fucked' as '<em>prufito</em>', '<em>knife</em>' and '<em>harvested</em>'. That is, to make the 'o' followed by 'i' be pronounced as a 'u'. Thus, speakers who do this pronounce '<em>mulino</em>', '<em>cusí</em>', '<em>bucí</em>', '<em>prufito</em>' and even, '<em>communion</em>', '<em>cumu</em>' and '<em>turtle</em>', unlike those who pronounce everything with an 'o'. </p>]]></description>

      <subtitle><![CDATA[Do you pronounce words like 'primo', 'molino', or 'trozo' with an 'o' or a 'u'? If you pronounce them with a 'u' and you're not from Sóller, Ibiza, or Menorca, do what's known as a conditioned closure. The Catalan of Mallorca is rich and diverse in varieties, and this is one of its distinguishing features, one of those that defines the physiognomy of the speech of each locality.]]></subtitle>
