And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Pronunciation:

A woman I worked with many many moons ago called a resident of the nursing home we worked at Ms. Camp-bell. When I corrected her with "cam-bell. the p is silent", she stared at me and asked how I knew.

"Do you call it camp-bell's soup?"

"Yes."

I left her alone.

Yikes! I do an almost Camp-bell pronunciation. I pronounce the 'P' very softly, so you can't really hear it. I basically slur the the p and the b together. Thank you for correcting the error of my ways!!!

Heheheh.

t says "campbell" to self a few times out loud.

It does sound like the p and b are sorter combined, huh? Well, that's the way to say it. NOT CAMP-bell.

I'm at work and 3 people in the past 30 minutes have just said "cahton" as in carton of cigarettes/milk/etc. Now, I have always pronounced the R. Am I wrong on that as well?

Skyzy, no you are so very correct.

We have a friend from Northern California that pronounces "almond", "Am-mund".

WTF is that?

Always Anti-fascist!

"It is a far far better thing I do, than I have ever done." From carton to Carton. And yeah, I always say the R.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Am-mund".

That's how you say it!
