I refuse to spell it any other way than Fucking.

The best part about Shitterton is that the name comes from “sewer town.” Not another language, no alternate meaning, it is just as it sounds in modern English.

No, go the other way, it’s closer to Aristotle’s name in the original Greek. Ah-ree-stoh-teh-leese.

So did you think “goose” was pronounced like “choose?” Understandable.

I can see why he’d have trouble with those two, because Spanish doesn’t have the English “z” sound. They’ll both sound the same using Spanish pronunciation .

Usually the reason is either because some jerks intentionally changed certain spellings to look more French/Latin (“receipt” didn’t have a “p” originally, for example), or just because English is such a mongrel language with words taken from various other languages with different spelling and pronunciation rules.

They aren’t universally, just in certain dialects. I pronounce the “th” just like with “clothing.”

“Made” and “bade” supposedly not rhyming confused me, how is “bade” supposed to be pronounced?

And this was in a blue city in a blue state. It’s gonna be really bad.

I actually did desperately want that Nintendo Switch in, oh, '89 or '90? I was living in Germany at the time and my RF switch cord got severed. This was the dark ages before the internet, so the only option was to order one and wait a month or so for it to arrive. That was a long month!

Guns might help against MAGA randos, but they won’t do shit if the government’s coming for you. I guess if you just want to try to take some of them with you.

Oh no, law is very much alive. It’s rule of law that’s dead.

Trump understands that he can do whatever he wants and things will go his way in the end. That’s been his whole life.

Yeah, the “whopping” was sarcastic.

That ice cream cone would be a whopping $1.02 today!

40% of the ones who voted. They had relatively low turnout, as per usual for youth votes.

No, not a majority, just like 40% of them.
