Zipa audio micro-course (transcript)

Three short podcasts about “Zipa”. Listen with the interactive player.

Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning

Narrator: Today's word is "Zipa" — noun, pronounced /ˈzɪpə(r)/, with the stress on "zip".

Narrator: Zipa is not a standard English word; it is most likely a phonetic misspelling of zipper.

Narrator: In plain English, you probably mean zipper, or zip in British English.

Narrator: The error comes from writing the non-rhotic British pronunciation "zippa" as it sounds.

Narrator: A common collocation for the correct word is "a broken zipper", which describes a fastener that won't close.

Narrator: It differs from "zipper", because only zipper and zip are correct spellings.

Narrator: In a second sense, Zipa is also a name used in some places and brands.

Narrator: Spell checking, language learning and search tools deal with such errors.

Narrator: So remember: write zip or zipper, not zipa.
