I think Jeff is saying that he's looking forward to having his name verbified to something that's not an insult,
But is it meh-JEE-uh, me-HEE-uh, or something completely different?
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think we established at some point that it was the second one.

I always thought it was MEJ-ee-uh.

Don't be. Hec posted that, and he was wrong. In the post I linked to, erinaceous contradicted it, and it's her proposal.
Cool. Thanks. That's what I get for skimming.
But is it meh-JEE-uh, me-HEE-uh, or something completely different?
Possibly because I grew up in a place with a store call Meijer's (which is pronounced My-ers), I've always read Jeff's last name as My-uh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ah, the always entertaining pronunciation confusion. (No really, I do enjoy the discussions.) Let's get amych, amyp and amyth in here too.
Oh topic, I am for this proposal and will certainly opt-in. And though I think there are fascination conversations in Bitches, it also gets very personal there, so I agree with not using it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Oh, I'll opt in. Sounds like good work with good people for a damned good reason.
Um - who gets the email, will there be a post in press when everything's ready, or what?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The vote to see if the thing actually flies is Friday, noon, board time, and the voting runs for t memfault days. It's in erin's hands after that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

After the vote (tight race, huh?) I think the ballot system will be altered to work as the opt in system which will go to erinaceous. I'm also guessing that will be posted in press.

Correctamundo.
