We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get this weekly email from my local mystery book store, and thought this was pretty funny:

Now, I’m going to give a plug to a book that doesn’t really need it, and I know that some of you will groan. But, the new Robert B. Parker, BAD BUSINESS ($24.95) was just signed, and truthfully, I thought it was pretty good. (My one complaint is that I would have liked to see more Hawk, and less Susan, but that’s par for the course. More violence, less psychoanalysis. )

It makes me laugh that theoretically she's supposed to be selling these books -- "truthfully, pretty good"? Heh.

Not javachik

"CHIM-ur-uh"

It ISN'T? Uh oh.

I say "fack" for FAQ, too. How do you say URL? I spell it. Is it supposed to be "Earl"?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

For URL, I say "you are ell." Never heard anyone say it "Earl."

So far, co-worker and erika are the only 2 people who say F-A-Q, rather than "fack."

Fackers, unite!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Um, I say "Earl."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Similarly I had pegged "gaoler" as "gail-er" instead of "jailer" and still read "cupboard" as "cup-board" instead of "cubberd."

I still read "gaoler" and "gaol" as gail.

I say "fack" for FAQ, too. How do you say URL? I spell it. Is it supposed to be "Earl"?

Say it Earl, and I will fack your shit up, damn it.

It's U-R-L.

The other gives me freakin' hives.

(Though I fack for FAQ)

Um, I say "Earl."

Oy. Sweetpeach, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Say it isn't so. (weeps)

At w-o-r-k, many peeps say Earl. Drives me bonkers.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

It's U-R-L.

I think that more people dont "Earl" because it's sounds too much like puking.

Always Anti-fascist!

I would never have thought of fack...oh, well, fack it.

I will change my evil Earl ways.

Just because you called me "Sweetpeach."

I'm a cheap ho for fruit endearments.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

My big fo-pah in junior high was reading out loud something from my advanced history class and pronouncing "corps" like "corpse." Even the teacher laughed. Sigh.
