I'm a bit confused by this. Why would there be a difference between
thinking of a K or a G consonant, since G is simply the voiced version of
K? Well, yes, in English, K is also slighty aspirated, but I don't see how
either the aspiration or the vibration of the vocal folds should make a
difference. I would think it would be only the position of the tongue,
which is the same in either case, isn't it? Cheers, --Joe

Hi Joe, I'll explain - the g said like guh, is very different sounding than
the K as in click. Tah, Guh is different from T, K.
