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.
Um, if satiety is suh-TIE-ety, why do we pronounce satiated and say-she-ated??
See above Re: DUMB
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.
Not the only one with tattered pride on this one. I'm right there with you.
We should just change it.
I'm glad to have you all onboard!
I feel like with a little collective action we are well on our way to accepted alternative pronunciation
I finally had to ask about "LatinX", like, is the x silent? Because, I don't give a ton of speeches anymore, but here in the Southwest, some folks in the audience will be it.(I learned it's lateenex) Just didn't want to be the one reading off the poster, right?
Off to see a SpaceX launch tonight. Send launch~ma or something because I don't want to drive up again tomorrow if it doesn't go. It is a 3 hours trip each way, although really I could see it from across the street too, but not with the sound and vibration and stuff.
We had quiche for dinner tonight, and I am fairly certain I did not mispronounce too many words, but if I did my family was polite. Made a crab variety and a ham quiche. I didn't try the ham but had a massive quantity of the crab. Yummy.
Timelies all!
Remembered that I had a massage thingy(kind of a strip rather than a seat) so I dusted it off and am using it to work the knots out of my shoulders,
I was not responsible and ordered dinner in, because I’m going on vacation tomorrow and because I got DashPass back in December for ordering for a group, and it goes up in price (or isn’t free anymore? I forget) next week, so I figured I should use it before then (…so I ordered $40 of food? Yeah well)
I was responsible and made noodles instead of ordering in tonight. Gold star for me.
I made the opposite choice.
Seems like this is pronunciation day all over. [link]
It’s like we’re all very stoned
There is a burrito place around the corner that is said to have a chile relleno burrito, so I stopped on the way home. Sadly, I saw no chile relleno burrito, so ended up with my standard carnitas.
At least I have learned my lesson: I cut it in half and put half of it in the fridge before eating. A whole super burrito is far too much for me now. And I made a rum old fashioned and watched some Star Wars.
