I don't think I've ever said swathe.
As a kid I told a friend I had to "swathe hay" - he didn't know what I meant, and thought I had said some French word - 'swathey' or something.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I pronounce "swathe" to rhyme with "lathe" and "bathe."
Kathy, I had no idea that Breyer's made dolls.
Sorry--it's Byers carolers, not Breyers. I was getting them mixed up with the ice cream company, I think.

"Swathe" with a long A doesn't seem too weird. But "swather" with a long A seems all kinds of wrong.
We had this swather with an air-cooled v-4 that I liked. If I choked it too much while starting it and accidentally flooded it, it would sound so cool as it first would run on only one cylinder, then two, then three, and after half a minute the fourth one would finally join in.

Jesse, those toys shouldn't be wasted on kids - adults can not only appreciate them, but actually pay for them.

What's the difference between a novella and a novelette?
The novella is an economy novel, and a novelette has a fiberglass body and a V-8?
