We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I always liked the origin of the word "nickname"--it started out as "an ekename" in Middle English ("eke" meaning "also"), and then the consonant drifted from the article to the noun. Very cool.
Did the same thing happen with "a nincompoop"? That started out "an incompoop," sort of an off-the-rails incompetent?

Hey, man: I say that "persnickety" is a perfectly cromulent word. It's no fun to say without the S.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Gah. This discussion on top my my wrestling-with-Russian-accent woes is making my head spin. Poor haid.
Along that vein, how does everyone pronounce "mature"? American Heritage accept "ma-tyoor", "ma-toor", and "ma-chur". I had no idea.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I tend to go with "ma-TURR," or sometimes "ma-CHURR." Except when talking about actor Victor, when it's "MAY-churr."

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I use "muh-chur."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ma-tyur. Shorter than "ma-tyoor," I think.
