I don't see the FOTH thread on the list. Since that is what us West Coasters-and others-are staring at, I thought we needed it again....

Out of curiosity, how does everyone pronounce "FOTH"? Do you all say F-O-T-H or do you do it like me and say it like "fothe" which rhymes with .............. will, nothing really but kinda sounds like ........ no wait ......... it rhymes with "oath."

I know that's not gramatically correct but that's how I say it. And "FOTH" is a noun. If the feeds cut to the FOTH then I say to myself "I wonder why we are FOTHing?"

Well, actually I say that to the cats, but they never respond or even seem to care. :)

In my minds reading voice, it is foth, as in goth, but with an f of course or like fawth.

Hmmm. Remember first grade and the long and short vowels? I pronounce FOTH as a short vowel, as opposed to long.

I can't believe I remember something from first grade!! LOL

Sometimes first grade stuff is the ONLY thing I can remember. :) I know, I know, I'm saying it all wrong, I just like saying "fothe." Try it, just try it ....... I dare ya. "Fotheing" is much more fun than "fothing."

Yes, exactly, if I could have drawn the o with the curvy line over it, that would have explained what I was trying to say.

Cliotheleo on the other hand is using a long o with a straight line over it.

What about the backwards "e" with the two dots on top of it? Can I use that?

This whole conversation reminds me of another board I post on. One of the posters there used to play in the ABA, the American Basketball League. His screen name is "ABA" and when he pronounces it in person he pronounces it "A-B-A" but the rest of us all say "Aba" like the Swedish rock group. We all keep calling him "Abba" and he just doesn't get it.

It's like the whole "gif" debate, is it "gif" like "gift" with the "t" or is it like Jif, the peanut butter brand?
Oh well .......... guess you had to be there. :)

Well, you are more honest than I. I would have snuck back in, and made a quiet edit. :)

Oh, I do that all the time, but that one was too funny not to point out. Can ya tell I'm a girl! :) I think my friend played middle linebacker in the ABA, yep, that's it.

Or it might have been shortstop. :)

Don't feel to bad about it, I never noticed the first time I read it.

Wondering why am I admitting this?
