I knew a guy who pronounced queue KWEE

That's one I read in books for a few years before I knew for sure how it was pronounced. It was the extra "ue" that threw me. But at least I bothered to find out for sure before I started using it regularly in conversation.

I think I was a little dubious on the pronunciation of "hegemony" for a while too.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I thought the phrase was "various insundry" until I was in collge.

TLaP day is the 19th.

How do I know this?

Because the 19th is also my anniversary. Keelhaul this, bitches.

(You know, that makes NO SENSE, but was fun to type.)

Keelhaul this should be the new EAT IT.

(Yes, I am at home with the baby and no car. By myself, as Paul is working. Thus the no car. I keep thinking, "I could..." before realizing that, nope either: a) no car; or b) no one to watch the kid while.)

When I get sick of being a human jungle gym, I guess I could do more laundry.

Sigh.

Talk more, people. Entertain me. Save me from the laundry monsters.

It makes me bananas when people pronounce "conch" with a soft "ch". It's KONK, dammit.

Oh, and utterly irrationally, "second seed" (say, in tennis rankings) makes me nuts. I feel like it should be "seat".

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think Noelle's mugshots reveal her slide from petty thief and alcoholic into prescription forging drug abuser very well.

Must note TLaP on my calendar.

It totally needs the "bitches" on the end, though.

Talk more, people. Entertain me.

Working on it.

I did that for the longest while.

Silence means security silence means approval

Oh, and there's no R in Washington.

::sets off regional dialect flame war::

I've seen cars with "ORYGUN" stickers in their back windows.

Then there's the question of whether you pronounce all the vowels in Colorado like "ah."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Best. Game. Evar.

I used to love playing this game. Then I discovered that you could play just as well by drinking lots of beer.

And it's the perfect standby for those days when who just can't pull together any beer money.
