I'm sorry, Kate! So many of my loved ones in pain. I want to wrap you all in love and comfort. And we can't even hug!
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

What is even happening?
Calli, I'm so sorry.
Amych, you and amyth are so linked in my mind, because I remember being new and vowing to not mix you up. I also remember talking on here about reading your board names as "ah mick" and "ah myth" even though I knew you both were Amy. I remember laughing as other people said your name was clearly "ah mitch" and not "ah mick." And it's dumb and I'm not conveying it well, but it's just a sweet little memory (to me) of a fun, light board conversation at B.org.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

There is also a contingent (which might just be me) (a contingent can too be 1 person!*) who reads it as Amy-chuh.
*(Okay, no it can't but I stand by my pronunciation anyway.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's ok, it's bittersweet to me too! And it's the smallest of all tiny hills of beans in all of this, but I am feeling the loss of my board name twin from a whole 10 miles away, and the fact that we've laughed over many years -- not at people getting us confused, but at the fact that we ourselves would sometimes do a double-take.

Because books.
As a member of the Amys , I nominate amyth as Amy Emeritus.
Also, Cindy is not the only one who pronounces them "a-myth" and "a-mick".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's not "ah," it's "ay." Ay-myth, Ay-mitch, Ay-skye.

My inner pronunciation adds a bit and makes it Amych(ile) in a southernish version of Amy child. Amyth is totally a-myth for me. eta: or actually Ay-myth as Jesse points out.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
For me, the mnemonic is "sabrists like sammitches."
And "amyth" sounds like "ay-myth"

Our contingent is tiny but mighty.
