I was going to order some brunch from a place on the way back from Farmer's Market, but they don't open until 10 and it was 9:30, I parked and was going to wait it out, but then I started writing out meal plan ideas for the week with stuff I have and realized I have more than enough food at home that needs to be cooked up/prepared. So I came home.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
ltc slept until after 9! It looks like our Farmer's Market is opening the first week of June, which is late for us, but I guess they had to put some social distancing measures in place.
I work with an Aaron and and Erin, and people pronounce them the same. I am always asking do you mean A A RON? Or Erin?
I want to garden/dig in the ground, but not having a car is blocking me. Do I take the bus? Do I get an Uber? Do I walk with my cat stroller?
My vote would be walk there/Uber or bus home.
In the interests of deliberately starting a regional accent war...
Aaron and Erin should be pronounced differently.
100000%
Aaron and Erin should be pronounced differently.
I can't do it. Or, when I try, the only way I can make them sound different is to really over-exaggerate the vowel sounds, and nobody wants to be called "Ehhhhhhh-rin."
I also can't pronounce Mary, marry, and merry differently (unless, again, I over-exaggerate the vowels). And I super-duper can't pronounce caught and cot differently.
I'm a linguistic mess, guys.
They sound different to my ears when I say them, but who knows what someone listening to me would hear?
Same, Tep. Or maybe more so. I don't know what different would even sound like.
Did I mention our new VP of Sales in Serena Williams?
regional accent
Try Irish: "Éireann"
Or from India: "Arun."
