Congratulations, erika! That's great news, and well-earned.

Snerk.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nilly snerked! Is it your first time, Nilly? I don't recall your snerking often, if ever.
Okay, I'm just way past sleep debt. I need to shut down the computer and go to bed. G'night.

Usually I COMM instead, but I thought this would work less well outside of context. But I do exercise my right to snerk, and Buffistas give me lots of opportunities to.
Of course, like plenty of other things that I may find relatively easy to write in a post (like 'y'all' or 'gotcha'), I will have a much harder time realizing how to actually pronounce it.

The status is NOT quo.
Rhymes with "jerk" or "lurk", I think. Does that help?

I think I'll have to wait until I hear somebody pronounce it out loud before I (probably mis)pronounce it myself...

Ah, but Nilly, all these questions and more will be answered in a matter of months! The Buffistas will happily pronouce all kinds of words for you! :)

Yup, how amazing is that? And, no doubt, make me attempt to pronounce all sorts of complicated words as well. Which I will happily try to not-tie my tongue while doing so.
Fay (I'm not sure if you've 'met' her yet - she's from England) was in last year's F2F, and she was encouraged to pronounce all sort of very USA-ian words ('yo' is the one I manage to remember, but somebody who was actually there will obviously have better details).

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Nilly, there's actually video of Fay in LA, being daintily and delightfully profane at Plei's urging. I told my beloved Roz Kaveney about it before Fay went to London to visit her, post-Egypt, and Roz laughed like a drain.
It was lovely, almost as lovely as Fay.

I don't think I can imagine Fay being anything other than dainty and delightful.
DXM was generous enough to send me a tape of last year's F2F, but I mostly remember her only pronounce the 'yo', in her lovely accent.
And, to make this thread drift a little less, you should have an e-mail from me.

Up with the sun
Hooray for erika!!! That's fantastic news.
(And Nilly, Y'all is (more or less, and depending on how Southern you are) pronounced like "yawl," sometimes with a slight glottal stop between the "yuh" and the "awl.")
