Buffy ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I never knew the title of that song. In fact, I might not have known it was Simon and Garfunkel, which does seem like a thing I should know.
It is still bugging me that I can't remember what song archipelago is in. I can almost hear the line, but not enough to identify anything and no more than that.
Damn, I haven't heard that song since...probably since I moved out, because it was on a record album my parents had.
Turns out I'm also pronouncing desultory wrong - but I'm certain I've heard it pronounced that way before! So I think it's just going to be like "satiety" in that I'm going to choose to believe that my pronunciation is correct because the real pronunciation is dumb.
Add me to the list of people pronouncing desultory wrong. If enough of us are pronouncing it wrong, then I think we get to declare our version a regional dialect.
Um, if satiety is suh-TIE-ety, why do we pronounce satiated and say-she-ated??
I was so sure that I knew how to pronounce satiety that I didn't look it up, and I now see that pride goeth before the fall.
Desultorily. De-sul-TOR-i-ly.
I'm startled by British characters saying Ruhmember and Pruhvarication. Also LaBORatory and AluMINium.

Not the only one with tattered pride on this one. I'm right there with you.
We should just change it.
I was listening to a radio program a while back and they played an old ad from like the 30s for Cheerios, educating people about the importance of the pro-tee-ins to you diet.
I know a person who pronounces binary as BYE-uh-nary. It always catches me. Not BI-nuhry or BI-NARY. But as if there were another letter there in between bi and nary. I mean, it doesn't ruin my day or anything, but I think she's the only one I've ever heard say it that way.
I was responsible and made noodles instead of ordering in tonight. Gold star for me.
I also finished an onerous first email in a series today (onerous only because I made the task such), so I think the dam is broken and the rest of the series will flow more easily now, yay.
And now, we do the crossword puzzle and start S3 of The Mandalorian, I think? Two PP shows in the lineup right now. No complaints!
