merely state that people say things differently.

From now on I'm just going to quote this again whenever I have the urge to go all PhD in Linguistics on someone's ass.  Thank you, Hobot, for the therapy.

It would be better if people would pronounce words in English correctly.

We need something like the French Academy to make and ENFORCE rules about how words are supposed to be pronounced.  It's a New World Order, after all.  Conform, fuckers.

I still have a bit of a Pennsyltucky accent despite living in VA for 17 years. So I always like to use m-w.com for my pronounciation arguments because they are ridiculously permissive when it comes to this for some reason. I mean, they list apprEciate and pro-nounce-iation as OK. That's just nuts.

I actually say the first one.

Appreciate - uh PREE she ate.

That's how I pronounce it.  It's the only pronunciation in my dictionary.

How, um, do others pronounce it?  uh pree SEE ate?

Didn't see anything about this on here yet.

Volume VI coming soon!

Edit: Whoops, I meant to post this in the newest thread, and this was the most recently updated. Sorry.

Thoughts about the strip while waiting for the next strip:

Did anyone else read "He knew I was BOC." as BÖC, or Blue Öyster Cult?

I have made this amusing mistake before, yes.  And it reminds me of that episode of "The Simpsons" in which Judge Harm tells Homer, "I'm familiar with BÖC."
