"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Thorn: "I cast Magic Circle Against Evil."

Ladock: "Group Hug!"

Bwah! Oh, that's adorable.

(Cheers, Fiona!)

Hi Billytea.

Oh, my team won today too. In proper football, that is.

Who are your team?

In the case of an 'i' it's not pronounced. (I think it is for an 'e'.)

Um, I don't think so. "Fille" (girl) is pronounced "fee", with a slight y-y wobble between the ees.

Unfortunately, the little French I ever had is very, very rusty so it may be a while before my brain digs up any other examples.

Edit: French is full of rules and exceptions to them, though, so just about anything could apply.

Yep, "ll" after "i" in French is always a "y" sound, except when it's not (ville, mille, etc.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Damn. I meant to put this at the end of my last post. Ah well, better late than never:

Oh, and Angus? Pfffft.

Meanwhile, my aerial ping-pong team (Northern Kangaroos) seem to have managed a rather heart-stopping tie. Bloody drama queens. (But, in common with the Raiders, they remain undefeated.)

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'm now obsessed with this "fillet" thing.

t Trudy wanders off across the internet to find a French/English dictionary.

Erm, that's what I said, isnt it? That a double L after an I isn't pronounced?

OK, what in the world is aerial ping-pong.
