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."
You funny x-posting geeks!
Heh.
I honestly thougth that Jesse had just double posted. freaky!
Heh.
My surprise was diphtheria. I've never pronounced that right, and I'm not sure I've ever heard it right either.
I try to say "fort," just for the fight of it.
I can't get out of my side of the bed for books, and I'm out of shelf space. I may have too many.
I am Plei. In fact, I just had to move all the books beside the bed out to the hall so I could spray for fleas. Now I can't walk down the hall.
THIS MUST STOP. I think.
Betsy, you need bookshelves in the garage, is all.
That cross-post? Made me extremely happy.
Like "forte" -- it's only supposed to be pronounced "for-TAY" when referring to music; when it's used to mean a strong point, it's supposed to be pronounced "fort."
I can't imagine using any pronounciation other than "for-TAY." But I'll confess, I've always said "pernickety" and got stared at for it. On the rare occasions I heard it as a kid, there was no "s".
The mispronunciation that makes me cringe didn't make the list. When people say "Prior-ize" instead of "PrioriTize" it drives me crazy!

I'll sometimes say "prior-ize." Usually when I want something done several days ago. Preferably by Richard Pryor.

So, you want it flambéd?
