I wasn't using "hard" and "soft" as stand-ins for "voiced" and "unvoiced"; I
was simply trying to describe the different pronunciations of English "th" to
someone I had no reason to presume was already familiar with the technical
aspects of phonetics. How do you think I should have described [Î] and [Ã]?
