Oh? Sad.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Which is why, although I know better, I still say "muncipal" in my head when I read municipal. You know, muncipal, like principal.

Seems like 2 separate questions to me. Reading the name doesn't give you the pronunciation. Watching Four Weddings and a Funeral on the other hand...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I learned it from a bad '60's era sitcom called O.K.Crackerby. Crackerby was played by Burl Ives and his assistant was named St.John Quincy, and the running joke was the assistant constantly correcting the pronunciation of his name by pretty much everyone.
Edited to note that it was effective, since I've certainly never forgotten the pronunciation.
