Hey what's the difference between put and putt?
Putt is shorthand for "put and only put".
Verbose HTTP is looking great.
No get! Only put
As opposed to "put and do something else"?
Phonetically, put: /pʊt/ vs. putt: /pʌt/
ʊ is the sound from words like "book", "hook", "pull" or "should.
ʌ is the sound from words like "gut", "double", "butter", "luck", etc.
Thanks! Yes it's weird. Cut and put sound tutally different wile cut and putt are pronounced the same
Put is something you do to something (I will put this down), putt is a technique in golf (watch me land this putt).
Thanks!
