tee-VEE or TEE-vee?
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

oh! cute almost snuggly kitties!
Speaking of (sea) kitties.... I can't believe they changed their fishing hurts site to read sea kittens in most places. Except for the title. Shouldn't it be Sea Kittening Hurts?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Sea Kittening sounds like making baby sea kittens. In fact, that brings up the important question: does sea kitten cover all ages of fish? Are there elderly sea kittens? Or do they at some point become the less cute sea cats?
Oh! And the SO set up the telescope he bought me for tonight's giganto full moon. He's awesome! And I was shocked at how much I could see just with my little telescope. I could clearly see Mare Crisium and all kinds of neato stuff like the rays from Tycho. So cool!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Shouldn't it be Sea Kittening Hurts?
Only if they end the sentence with "the baby Jesus".

Kitties are adorable. Love Cash's cut and color!

I think I say tv as a spondee.

A what, now?
ETA: OK, I looked it up. I think maybe I do, too, now that you mention it. But if I had to pick a syllable to stress, it would be the V.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
TV is mostly spondee, but can go one way or t'other based on the overall rhythm of the sentence. Dig my prosodic anarchy!
I've been trying to remember if I've ever heard a class or region of Americans say anything other than ma-CHURE. Individuals, maybe, but not as a consistent thing. And there are definitely gradations of CHURE vs CHER. But no TURE.

TV is absolutely spondee.
