'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So now I'm confused.
I'm not sure if there's a reason for the change other than stylistic, or if there's some alleged linguistic reason. It's like how the stressed syllable in Caribbean changed from Care-a-BEE-an to Ca-RIB-bean.
I cling to the pronunciations of my youth.
I am ardently adding to the dictionary of my browsers. Soon they will be nigh useless.
But hey--Castiel doesn't get a red wiggly anymore either.
Apparently insurance is still pending approval of my charges for the k-hole, but I'm still supposed to check in on Monday. Way to go to not adequately resolve the status. Ah, well. I'll tell boss to mark those two days off my calendar, unless I do show up in the end.

Huh. I always heard Ca-RIB-be-an as a kid, but I've been hearing Car-a-BEE-an a lot more lately.
Just say West Indies and stay safe.
AppaLAYshin = north; AppaLATCHin = south. The dividing line seems to be about halfway into Virginia, from what I can tell.

Mine had to learn that as well. The wiggly red line is my bane and I feel slighted when it doesn't comprehend a perfectly cromulent (whoops, have to add that one too) word.
Working for Auntie Beeb has ruined me for American spell-checkers. Colour. Theatre. Programme.
Speaking of which, Jessica, the Beeb just left the building. They were very nice. I just wish French and Italian had the budget of Spanish.
Do you pronounce it "thee-ah-tah" in that case?
How did you *know*??
Ca-RIB-be-an. Appa-LAY-shun.
Hate the wiggly red line. Yet it catches my misspellings, so it stays. Wiggly red bastard.
I'm pretty sure I had some more important things to say, but I just mainlined, like, 1000 posts and I can't remember now.
The protesters who have a picture of Obama with a Hitler mustache were outside of the post office again today.
When they approached me, I managed to say "Stay away from me, please." Yes, I said PLEASE to the fucking people comparing Obama to HITLER. And their other complaint that I could see was "Save NASA." You can clearly see how that equals fascism.
I wish I could be Vortex. Instead, I say please.
