'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When my land line rings it's usually family, BC!BFF, or the front door. Just a bit ago it was a recruiter using god knows which resource since I switched to my cell # long before I got hired.
He yammers on, even after I explain I'm working...he's being polite, he's looking for other people with similar backgrounds. He asks if he can email me. No. He's in sales. I get that. But I'm not going to be a resource for him.
Why the fuck does he send me a thank-you email? Now I have to hate him.
How do you pronounce "satiate"?
I generally pronounce it SAY-shee-ate-ed. However, S pronounces it SAY-tee-ate-ed.
But there's two facts being ignored by focusing on the pronunciation of "satiated": 1) the vowel combo after the first "T" is different in the word satiety, and 2) How do you pronounce "sated"?

Surely if you cleave to the first point the second becomes irrelevant?
You say refined, I say snooty!
Thbpbpbpbpbpbpt! I tilt my nose upwards at you, in a refined, snooty manner.

I grab any and every point I can to rebut others, and to hell with internal logic or consistency.
Also, many dictionaries back me up.
Yes, but do they support you in e-mail?
I... don't say the word satiety. And now, I may never.
This is why I prefer to communicate by e-mail, where no one can hear you pronounce.
I always said SAY-shuh-tee until i doubted myself and checked Merriam Webster's pronunciation, which is suh-tie-uh-tee. Now neither sounds right. So now I pronounce it "had enough".
Seriously, has anyone not emceeing a spelling bee ever said that word out loud? Ever?
