ipa_secrets.JPG The image is a meme composed of text at the top and bottom surrounding a central photograph. At the very top, against a white background, black sans-serif text reads: "When you're sending notes to your friends in IPA and a non-SLP tries to read it". The central image features a young man with curly brown hair and green eyes, identified as the character Frodo Baggins played by Elijah Wood from *The Lord of the Rings*. He is looking slightly upward and to his left with an expression of mild confusion or bewilderment. Sunlight is hitting him from behind, creating a bright rim light around his hair. He is wearing a green tunic. In the lower left corner, there is a blurry object that appears to be a gloved hand holding a small piece of paper or parchment. The background shows out-of-focus green trees and foliage, indicating an outdoor setting during the day. At the bottom of the image, overlaid in yellow text with a black outline, is a line of phonetic symbols: "ɔl rait ðen, kip jor sikrits". This text is written in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and represents the pronunciation of the phrase "All right then, keep your secrets." The meme relies on the viewer recognizing that this phonetic script would be difficult for someone who does not study speech-language pathology (SLP) to read.
