Our wings are not tired.

Also I have apparently been pronouncing desultory in the British manner all this time.

Due to working with British colleagues for over a decade now, there are a number of words I pronounce in the British manner because they’re just more fun that way! I love this “schedule” and their “regulatory” so much more than ours. So I’ve made them mine.

X-post. So editing to add:

-t my dad and one of his friends had a long running thing about Bar Fly!! I think you’re the only other person I’ve ever heard mention that movie. I’ve never watched it.

Oh I’ve called it Barf-ly for eons too because it calls for it!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

When we meet with our Canadian client, the way they pronounce "proh-cess" drives me nuts. And they use that word...so much.

Punishingly Intricate

We are having a fundraiser at a bar called “Barfly’s” next week and I’m doing everything in my power not to call it “barf-ly’s out loud.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I had a training this morning where the presenter talked about de-MEN-she-uh, and I thought "I don't believe I've ever heard anyone pronounce the "i" in there before."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

For some reason my shoulders/neck have been tense lately. You'd think I'd be a bit less stressed now, but my body hasn't gotten the message.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And proh-ject.

Just be glad you don’t have to hear them say paa-sta. My whole brain recoils.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I just console myself that mispronouncing words you know the meaning of generally means you learned them from reading, not conversation.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

For some reason my shoulders/neck have been tense lately. You'd think I'd be a bit less stressed now, but my body hasn't gotten the message.

You've been under such stress that your body probably thinks now is a *fantastic* time to really feel it, in theory to let it go.

I hope the tension leaves soon. You've been through so much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When we meet with our Canadian client, the way they pronounce "proh-cess" drives me nuts. And they use that word...so much

Someone on a trashy reality show I'm watching said "proh-cess," and I was like "CANADIAN!?!??!"

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Also I have apparently been pronouncing desultory in the British manner all this time.

Me too!

I am pro Canadian Process, anti Canadian Pasta.
