I also recently learned that I pronounce ornery unlike "normal" people, because I say "ore-ner-ree".
...that's not how normal people say it?? [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
According to everyone else who replied to my friend's Twitter thread, it's supposed to be "orn'ree".

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We spent the whole day unearthing and alphabetizing all of our CDs. We have hundreds and hundreds because I am married to a music lover who streams 99.99% of the time , but WHAT IF THINGS BECOME UNAVAILABLE AT SOME DISTANT FUTURE POINT SO WE HAVE TO HAVE EVERY SONG WE HAVE EVER VAGUELY LIKED ON CD AND WE MUST NEVER THROW AWAY EVEN ONE OF THEM EVEN IF WE DON'T EVEN LIKE THE ARTIST. We may have some slight disagreements on this issue, is what I'm getting at.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Aaron = "Air-ron".
Erin = " Err-rin"
I pronounce "air" and "err" the same, although if I make an effortm I can make the vowels in the second syllables sound different ("-un" vs "-in").

Every once in a while I hit a word where my "Southern Indiana Is Actually Kind of the South" comes out. Apparently, this is one of them.
I, however, pronounce "battery" with 3 syllables, "wrestling" does not have an a in it, and "creek" does not have an i.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree

I'm still trying to determine if anyone really pronounces "bear" like that.
(I was watching Fantastic Mr. Fox today, which has that song on the soundtrack).
