Xena has freaked out

you are such an ass, Brian.

 

[Goreripper]

I'm a donkey now?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Jazynthe is pronounced Ja-zin-ta!

Ahh, so like Jacinta, but with a 'z'. I never would have guessed.

 

[KoichCPA]

I will pronouce it phonetically.

There was a black chick on rikki lake once called Toilet'.

She didn't pronounce her name phonetically either.

 

[Stonewall]

I didn't realize you were so against it.

I'm sure you could have put more of these annoying language travesties into your post Koich, or is this you being subtle?

 

[Goreripper]

Subtle like a fox!

 

[KoichCPA]

Please don't analyze my humor.

 

[Spiff]

Fine, spell shit the way you guys say it

You mean there's another way to spell it?

 

[Stonewall]

The problem with spelling things the way one pronounces them has the problem that it doesn't cross accent divides.

 

[Shannow]

That was a big problem when I moved from Victoria to Adelaide when I was 6.

In Victoria, they say "plant" and "castle", while in Adelaide they say "plant" and "castle". Then we moved to the ACT, and they say "plant" like they do in Victoria, and "castle" like they do in South Oz.

 

[Winmar]

So in other words they same them exactly the same everywhere.

 

[phlogiston]

Nah, Shannow's right. Victorians say castle, and crow-eaters say castle. Except for me, for some reason I say it the crow-eater way. Same as mall and mall.

 

[Spiff]

It really annoys me when people pronounce "castle" "castle" instead of "castle".

 

[Winmar]

Yeah, and when people pronounce "big" "big" instead of "big". I prefer the Tasmanian way - they say "big", like I do.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I think that 'mall' and 'mall' are different things though, not just different ways of saying the same thing. They probably aren't, that is just how I think of it.

 

[Wrathchild]

People should all go around pontificating in Shakespearean style monologues. I try my best, but yea, it doth confuse the shit out of everyone.

I pronounce everything the standard BBC English way, except for words like "temporarily" which I pronounce the way Americans do. There's a syllable there, use it!

Some rules:

* "schedule" has a soft c sound after the s. I pummel anyone I hear referring to it as a "skedule"

* "harass" is pronounced the same way as a particular bass player's surname

* "lieutenant" is "left-tenant"

So there .

Shakespearean style of speaking shits me.

I encourage none of you to use the word 'acceptable' the way Supernanny Jo Frost does.

 

[Wrathchild]

So it's unacceptable to use the word acceptable? I must say I find that innappropriate .

Which BTW, is another word I'm sick to death of.

[Blitzkrieg]

Don't you mean, inappropriate?

You can use the words unacceptable and acceptable, just not the way she does.

 

[phlogiston]

assepital.
