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

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

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

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

When I first read it I thought “semen” was pronounced “seh-min” and I still think my way is better.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Never heard or read or used the word Desultory that I recall, had no idea of pronunciation or meaning.
Also never seen or heard of Wimby.
I feel out of touch and poorly read.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had to google Wimby.
We are apparently not getting raises this year as word was we would be told about them prior to the March 1 paychecks and here it is payday and no raise. Which is not really surprising, we had a bad revenue year, but I'm annoyed that no one bothered to actually say so. Possibly they will mention it at the "town hall" in two weeks but I doubt it. Not putting me in a good mood for the upcoming employee engagement survey.
