For the rest of you who just saw ' ʻ ' for the first time ever -

The ʻokina (Hawaiian pronunciation: [ʔoˈkinɐ]) is the letter that transcribes the glottal stop consonant in Hawaiian. It does not have distinct uppercase and lowercase forms, and is represented electronically by the modifier letter turned comma: ʻ.

A phonemic glottal stop exists in many other Polynesian languages as well; these are usually written by a similar apostrophe-like letter.

Notice the global warmists won’t issue a single word on how much CO2 volcanos emit that help expose their international fraud. Am enjoying that the Euroweenies are about to financially collapse from their massive swindling.

Hardly anything resembling a tornado.

Oh please - the Hawaiian language and for that matter, Hawaiian culture is crap: it's always been crap. I lived there for three involuntary years and the whole violent, primitive mess should have disappeared long ago.

Try raising kids in their school system, try getting anything but corruption from the government/police/judicial system and try walking anyplace at night by yourself.
