I heard somewhere the theory on the problem with Uranus was either the angle of it's axis or the Klingons. Not sure what that means though.

your peking-beijing made me laugh--good thing i wasn't drinking anything near the computer!


someone asked me once if i drank near the computer and i think i responded with, "i drink near dinnertime."

well, axis is when you want to know something and klingons is what happens when you don't use a fabric sheet and your socks are stuck on the back of your shirt when you grocery shop.
hope that clears it up some.

Ok, Tabbyking but what does that have to do with Uranus?

Draheid, I think she's said that photography is a hobby (but I think she'd like to make a living at it).

But isn't a klingon the long streamer of toilet paper stuck to your shoe as you exit the restroom of a nice restaurant?

Tabbyking

Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 12:20 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
only in a restaurant. otherwise, klingons are laundry!

Oh, now I finally get it -- Kling-free was invented to combat klingons! TVCH is SO educational!

I know a person that says "pregnate" instead of "pregnant" and it drives me nuts!

On a side note, I am from Oklahoma and I say "nekkid" instead of "naked". I do it unconsciously. When I think about it, then I can say it properly.

Thanks for the site. Not that I really cared anyway, but it's nice to see that I've been pronouncing "insouciant" correctly all this time since I say it at least three times a day.

How about Kmarts and Walmarts? (While we're on the subject)

For ex:
"We were at Kmarts today"

I grew up hearing Neanderthal pronounced the way it is spelled, but lately I keep hearing those in the intellectual archeological community say Neander-tal. In addition, Cro magnon is now pronounced Crow-man-yon.

Probably, those in the know have pronounced these terms, in what I regard as, the "new" way, all along, but they didn't let the general public know about it until recently.

Cross - thanks for the link.

Ack, is drives me nuts to hear Hawaii pronounced Ha-y-ya (I'm fine and how do you do, too?), and Iowa pronounced I-o-way. Also, Mrs. prounced miz-riz.

Anyone around Montecello? I'd always heard it pronounced Montechello (ch as in chicken), but now it's Montesello (like cellophane). Which is it and why did it change?

Have you noticed they've changed the names of dinosaurs too? Not just the pronunciation but have totally renamed them.
