According to Dictionary.com and the MacMillan Contemporary Dictionary on my desk, your ex (and whoever else) are wrong. You're right. Ank? You're SOOOO right.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ank, like ankle, shent.
Whuh?
I've never heard anyone say it that way. Not even in ain-she-ent times.
AYN-see-ent?
Heh. My people are from the Isles. Problee where I got it.

And don't the Brits say AYN-see-ent?
This I could let pass. I speak some Spanish, so I can see this pronunciation making sense. But "K"? Nope, Cass is right, he was wrong. Nuh-uh.

Askye, that's cool. There are so many words like that, that I know from books but don't know how to say. I usually just wait for Keith Olbermann to say them, though since he's back in sports, even he doesn't he doesn't bust out $18 ones quite so much...$16.50 maybe.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like it when the online dictionary gives me a pronunciation too.

Cagney is actively growling at some non-existent thing in the closet. He's never done that before. Ever.
I'm all the way freaked out.

Tim pronounces "known" as 2 definite syllables: "know-uhn." It still throws me every time. And sometimes I catch myself doing it.
How do you say it?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How do you say it?
Like the word "know" with an "n" at the end.
