I'm sure he meant to say "thanks mate" but his fat foolish mouth could manage "faxme".

This is the thread where you bemoan the diction of twats.

I thought that was the modern electroclash update on Call Me or something...

Bemoaning the diction of twats: one of my clients runs a company called "Anaconda [word removed to prevent googlability]", and she calls like every friggin day and says "Hi this is [name removed] with AnDaconda [see above], and I'm calling about..." and this is when I'm screaming inside my head "OH MY GOD LEARN TO PRONOUNCE THE NAME OF YOUR OWN FRIGGIN COMPANY PLEASE!" And then later I wonder why that one simple extra "D" bothers me so much. Then she calls back and it starts all over again.

Nuke-ular. It's pronounced NUKE-ular!

My dad's a well-spoken guy but for some reason he always said "SAHV-iet Union" when talking about his adversary.

That's a fuckin' weird way to pronounce 'Kevin Shields', Ned.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

The idea that my dad and Kevin Shields would hate each other -- or even know of the other's existence -- is so bemusing I can't even react to it.

There's been a Valentine's heart that says "FAX ME" for several years now. Wonder why it hasn't caught on? hmmm...

I hear RE-UH-LTY every day.

I don't know if it's a southern Ontario accent thing, but my Dad always calls tigers 'taggers'.

I hear RE-UH-LTY every day.

Wait, how do you say it?

I do not live in the city of torrana!

My personal pet peeve is "cue-pons" instead of "coupons," and this is why I am insane because nearly everyone says the former.

― NA. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

You're right on the money, Nick. I fucking hate that.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

You live in the city of Tronno, Noodles, and you know it!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

My pet peeve is kilometer. I think it should be pronounced KILL-o-meter, not kill-AH-mehter. You don't say cen-TIM-mehter, do you? Other than this I don't fucking care about anything, except jive being used where jibe should be, I guess. And people saying Interact when the word is Interac. That's it.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyways gets me. It's anyway, it's not anyways! Argh. My head is throbbing just thinking about it.

― Jodi (Celerina), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

My dad always goes "noo-que-lar" instead of saying "nuclear" properly, I don't understand that.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

But wait, how do you pronounce "realty"?

― Paul Eater (eater), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

real-tee.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I have a faint bisyllabation in action though even when I say just "real" -- my New England heritage perhaps. Not "ree-yull" but not a unitary "ee" either.

― Paul Eater (eater), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I really don't get offended by that to be honest.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

but maybe he meant for you to send him a fax?

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

A fax of your ass!
