What is /A/? You mean like the letter A?

The // "brakets" are used in linguistics to signify phonemic notation in IPA. There are no upper case letters in IPA tho, only a lower case /a/ that sounds different from the standard pronunciation in English

That's what I was looking for but Google assistant is braindead, it kept open my fucking sound settings and all round being trash as usual. I started with /a/ but that didn't work either.

This whole explanation got very confusing until I figure out we weren't talking about beers.... wich took a long time

I only know about the IPA beer from linguistic meme pages

Ok at first I thought the second guy was insane, but the more I thing about it the more I realize he's cooking. I might have discovered something new about myself today lads.
