Should I start a debate on whether or not drama and llama rhyme?
Honestly, I talk to Americans on the phone so much as part of my job, I often forget how I pronounce things. "Data" will change on me throughout a single conversation.

You call it an accident. I call it justice.

HOLY SHIT data is a HUGE fucking pet peeve of mine. So much so, I would like to jump through the phone when we are on a conference call and the silly research assistant calls it dat-ah. Now granted, I was taught the day-tah is the proper plural form and dat-ah or datum is the singular. IMHO... DAY-ta or GTFO.  |

Trolls must be pyromaniacs cause they love to play with fire.

Cache gets on my nerves. When I looked it up, the pronunciation was given as cash, but I frequently hear it pronounced cash-ay, which just sounds strange to me.

Cachet is pronounced like that but it is a different word with a different meaning. |

Is that someone who powers a dinghy? |

Route is pronounced Root. Rowt is what you do when you are running away from something in a confused and frightened mob. A thing for transferring packets across a network is pronounced 'rooter', a 'rowter' is a woodworking tool. |

I was giving the phonetic spelling because Route isn't the same word as Rout.

I love seeing people being nit picky about the English language these days. Spelling, pronunciation, meaning... it's all a bastardized hodge-podge of whatever dialect happens to hold sway at any given time. The thing about languages is that it is truly a democratic system. You can yammer and natter on about the one true spelling or pronunciation of a word, but if most everyone else uses another you're the one that is wrong. English is a flowing and changing thing, and there is no such thing as a pure language.

My wife and I love owls. We found this picture that we both agree looks like her in the morning. If she were an owl that is.  |

It's a European thing. At my university the ground floors for various departments are 0 (biology, biochemistry, chemistry), 2 (physics), -1 (computing), G (admininstration), 1 (Civil Engineering). It is a little confusing  |
I love the smell of facepalm in the morning

I had a buddy link that youtube video to me the other day. I don't have the heart to tell him it's a promo for the new Planet of the Apes movie.
