Sorry to disappoint, Mr Shaw: I think we're done.
Shes never interfered with me. I have no complaints about her.
Same here.
Mega ditto.
I met her once and I found her to be a nice lady. Not kookey in any way.
Penta has always been gracious, kind and very sane in all my interactions with her.

flipflop:
LOL, fair enough mate. And there she was telling everyone how you and her were the very bestest of chums again, LOLOLOL.


It's all about the reaction. She needs somebody to fight with, so she'll say whatever she can to start shit. She's a kind enough lady in person, just rude and patronising, but she's literally obsessed with fighting on the internet. The only solution is to ignore her, god knows I've tried every other type of reasoning.

Fighting with herself maybe. I wonder why anyone would find that "weird"?

He is Quebecois I believe and he likes to remind people how he speaks French and they don't at every opportunity.

I am even worse than middle class over pronouncing. I just totally fail at it often because I only know the word by reading it since no one I know in real life ever talks like that.

For example:

For years I called the preface of a book the "pree-face" yep, I did. Never had to say it and no one I knew ever said it so to me it was a the "pree-face" and sometimes I forget and call it that anyway because I still rarely pronounce the word in regular conversation.

I screw up Nuclear too. That bugs the hell out of people that I add an un-needed "ur" in that word, but to them I plead "colorful regional dialect" of the sort that often exposes the self-cultivated as a hick and a rube (which I am). A friend of an ex-girlfriend of mine once got so angry with me mispronouncing nuclear that she just huffed and walked away , never to talk to me again. But that was not a loss since she is one of those people who is so depressed they are always on the verge of suicide but so far she has just managed to stain carpeting.

I cannot pronounce nuclear but at least I have my life sorted in such a way I am not always on the verge of destroying myself. I think that counts for something.

Another one I do is cappicino. The first one of those ever had was in Galway Ireland of all places and the dude that made them pronounced it Kawp-A-Chino. So that is how I say it. I figured he knew how to say it but he was just a mick putting on airs and I was a hick who was so hickish I thought the mick was a sophisticated continental type fellow. So my cappicino pronunciation comes from a haughty mick as interpreted by a pretentious hick...and I am cool with that.

Makes for a better story than proper pronunciation: My parents sent me to school and all of us talk like this now. *yawn*
