When we meet with our Canadian client, the way they pronounce "proh-cess" drives me nuts. And they use that word...so much.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
I love all the accents and all the pronunciations! And mispronunciations too. Except “supposably“ drives me 🦇 but that’s specifically because of someone truly terribly who said it that way.
