In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A glottal stop is the linguistic term for dropping the sound of the letter “t” from the middle of a word. You can do the same with the letter “k” in the middle of a word, as well.  "Scottish," for instance, would be pronounced "Sco'ish." “Blackboard” becomes “bla'board.” The Cockney accent doesn't put emphasis on the “h” sound when it is the first letter in a word. So, for example, pronounce “herb” as "erb," "horse" as "orse," and "hopefully" as "opefully." Like most English accents, a Cockney accent drops the “r” from the end of a word. For example, "mother" becomes "mo-thah," and "car" becomes "cah." ” For words that start with a “th” sound, like “think,” change the “th” to an “f,” as in “fink.” “Thought” becomes “fought,” and “thirsty” becomes “firsty.” For words that have a “th” sound in the middle, like “Northern,” replace it with a “v” sound, such as “Norvern.” " The typical short “a” sound is evidenced by the word “cat.” Change your short “a” to sound more like the “a” in "father," for words with a short “a” sound in the middle, like "bath" and "can't." When an “l” sound is at the end of a word, you can substitute the “l” for a vowel sound, like “w.” For instance, “pal” would sound like “pow,” and “trouble” becomes “trou-bow.” A Cockney accent is very informal, and often leaves off the “g” in words that end with “ing.” For instance, "starting" becomes "startin'" and "laughing" becomes "laughin'." To speak with a Cockney accent, occasionally substitute grammatically-incorrect words for grammatically-correct words. For example, say "ain't" instead of "isn't" or "is not," and use "me" instead of "my." You can also use double negatives, like “I didn't see nothin' there!” For example, say "I'm goin' to walk the dog with me mum," or "I ain't lookin' forward to the meetin' on Monday."
Summary: Drop the letters “t” and “k” from the middle of words. Drop the “h” from the beginning of words. Don't pronounce the “r” at the end of words. Replace “th” with “f” or “v. Pronounce the short “a” as "ah. Substitute an “l” for a “w” at the end of words. Drop the “g” from -ing endings. Use Cockney substitutions.

The design of your deck will depend a lot on how much you can spend. Consider the cost of materials, labor (if you won’t be building the deck yourself) and any landscaping that needs to be done. Make a budget before you start designing your deck so you know what you can and can’t afford. Do you have a lot of outdoor parties at your place? If so, you’ll probably want a large, wide-open deck. If you just want a spot to sit outside and have a glass of wine or read a book, you can cut costs by going with a smaller deck. Really think about what function you want your deck to serve so you can design it accordingly. If you know you want to have a couch, a table, and a fire pit, make sure you include space for those in your design. Leave adequate room around furniture for walking so your deck is maneuverable. Pay attention to the decks at your friends’ and family's houses. Note what you like and dislike about them. Search online for deck designs for a greater range of styles. Just search “deck designs” or “backyard deck ideas.” Pick and choose what you like about the decks you see and consider adding those things to your design. Use deck designing software through websites like Trex or Lowe’s to plan out the shape of your deck and get an estimate on the materials.

Problem: Article: If you can, make your whole costume the same color. A black plastic garbage bag makes convincing seaweed when cut into strips. Drape it over your tentacles or stick it in your belt to hang around you. If you like, cut a secondhand skirt into eight pointed strips to further mimic tentacles. This is a less striking but more comfortable costume you can change into if the larger tentacles start to annoy you.
Summary:
Wear matching sweats, tights, or skirt. Cut strips of fake kelp. Make a comfortable backup costume (optional).
