appeal ear


Explanation:
That's the version in Wikipedia anyway, although the article may not have been written by a native speaker of English.

I might rephrase what is said in order to use "apeal layer" rather than "appeal ear."

neutral  British Diana: "He speaks quasi with four beaks". I agree it may well not be a NS!/Don't worry, I have done much worse things on KudoZ! My speciality is scornful remarks on oh-so-easy terms which turn out to be tricky technical challenges that only experts can attempt.

  -> Boy what a mess I made of this one! The slowest answerer AND the one with the worst source text! I could quietly bury it, but I think I'll leave it up there as an example of how not to KudoZ.
