Simon ,'Objects In Space'
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."
I tried "Earl" a few times and it just didn't sound right. I'm glad I was correct in using U-R-L. For once!
How do you say often? I learned "of'en" - it might even have been the word that led to the parental guiding to the regular & habitual use of the dictionary. Then in a later year, I argued with a teacher about "of'en" vs. "of-ten," which she preferred. I wouldn't give in to her, we produced a dictionary, and we both were right. What you do say?
I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce the "t" in "often."
Likewise, does anyone say "com-for-ta-ble?" I've always said it "comf-terble." Pronouncing all the vowels seems like too much work.
Off'n.
I F-A-Qed until Dana and Betsy's West Side Story filk to Officer Krupke, which I can't seem to find.
"There's a FAQ, there's a FAQ.."
The link is at the bottom of the straight page.
(all) Read the FAQ, read the FAQ!
I can't find the song either.
Clearly my role for today is to follow Beverly around and provide harmony. Lalalalaaaaa...
I say the T in often.
Especially when it's followed by times.
Thank you, ita! I think I read (skimmed) every song on the filk page. Duh me.

Just like 20 -- "twenny," or "twen-tee"?

Twen-tee.
Much was the correction from my mother if I said it any other way.
I screw up pronounciation on words all the time. It comes from reading a lot in my youth. I probably should have spent more time watching tv.
My most recent gaffe was innocuous which I pronounced innoc-chew-us. And I'm not sure how to pronounce gaffe.
