K vs Q, sounds of
I've noticed that I pronounce "K" and "Q" differently.
K is shorter, Q is longer.
K is harder, Q is softer.
K is started with a full stop, Q is not.
K starts and stops. Q is practically a sibilant, and I can drag it out.
Between the two, my tongue makes a different shape and touches the roof of my mouth in a different spot.
Now I need to find an expert in Phonetics, to tell me the IPA symbol and name for my K and Q sounds, and to tell me if this is idiosyncratic or not.
