Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My god, this shit makes me crazy.
Jesus christ, it was like pulling teeth to get that article to load (your link didn't do it for me), and then to read the actual comment....this is why I've given up the whole Gawker family.
Not to mention the actual content of the essay or the comments.
Here's a pronunciation question inspired by ANTM: jaguar, jag-wahr or jag-u-ar?
I have no problem with the pronunciation. It's the spelling that's an issue. Blame them for that?

I disagree with the legislature and agree with Mark Twain -- the people should be called ar-kan-SOY-yers, not ar-KAN-sans.
How I learnt to get pegged and like it. Jezebel. NSFW language. Creepily SFW picture. Incredibly heteronormative assertions justified by "I was being funny!"
My god, this shit makes me crazy.
Oh my god, that guy is a douche. Seriously? Taking it up the Khyber Pass after asking your girlfriend to do it (rather, talking her in to doing it)? Does NOT remotely qualify you to "understand women." It means you are qualified to understand people who take it up the ass. That is all.
You're still a heteronormative douche with a boatload of assumptions. And you aren't funny.

Damn it, I really wanted that to be an actual Web site named "Blame a Frenchman."
I wonder if that URL is available...
Here's a pronunciation question inspired by ANTM: jaguar, jag-wahr or jag-u-ar?
I just got to that! I would say jag-wahr, except if I'm talking about a car and mocking the ads.
Jag-wahr. Or KITTY!!!
One of my coworkers is on NOVA. He's really articulate (a public outreach scientist) and has written a couple of books, but really, I like listening to him talk because he's got an awesome accent and voice. And huh, has a wikipedia page. Where I just learned he was born in Romania but raised in Israel, and served in the IDF as a paramedic. [link]
For some reason, I always thought he was Italian. Huh.
Badass of the Week: Hideaki Akaiwa.
Dude put on some SCUBA gear and dove right into the fucking tsunami to find his wife. And then his mom. And now random people.
Chaos. Which I pronounced, aloud in fourth grade geography class as "chowse". I still say munciple in my head, and now H says it that way when he sees it on a sign. And also, tangenital.
I might be a tidge dyslexic.

Well, his name looks Italian to me....
