That sounds delicious, Hil. And I love your Ragtime quote.
Also, Andi, that example rocks. And now I'm sitting here saying "indefatigable" over and over, in multiple different pronunciations.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

But why's it got to be such a daunting prospect to pronounce?
But that's what makes it fun (says the woman who only learned to say in properly a few years ago, from the Horatio Hornblower movies IIRC).

Mostly lurking...
I just learned how to pronounce it when I butchered it on the phone, talking to Deena.

Hey. New board.
The dictionary on my computer agrees, though it uses the ə for the "de" syllable, rather than a long e sound. Otherwise, all the same.

I always use Richard Burton's pronunciation on "The War of the Worlds" as my guide.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So far today I: went to Home Depot, put a second coat of paint on the kitchen cabinets, painted the pantry wall, cleaned the yard and grocery-shopped, all with my lovely DH.
Tonight we are going out for pizza, followed by going to see my friend Nancy's movie! Yahoo!
Tomorrow, hanging cabinet doors in New!House, couple of hours at the office, and cleaning and laundry at old house.

We have a very Buffista English department. We have a contest running for our upcoming student comments: best use of a cool vocabulary word wins. I am totally using indefatigable.
Re: Dancer
That thing
is
weird and trippy. I saw it purely clockwise (right brain, big surprise) and couldn't make it switch until I focused on the dancer's shadow at the bottom of the screen. Now I can switch back and forth. Very strange feeling.
ETA: Robin, that movie looks awesome! I'd heard about it on the radio, and I really want to go see it even before I knew your friend wrote it.
