I just realized today that the alphabet song shares its melody with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I'm 31.

AlphaKretin posted:That "Camus" is supposed to be pronounced "ka-moo". Now I can't take it seriously because I imagine it said the way Billy Connelly says "We're going to Peru!" in a Series of Unfortunate Events. That's not how you pronounce Camus at all. This is how you're supposed to pronounce it, ⟨y⟩ in IPA. I guess English doesn't really have this sound.

Was trying to look up a word to use as an example & came across this: English has 12 vowel phonemes (sounds), French & German have 17, Spanish has 5. Danish tops the list with 32   http://www.eupedia.com/linguistics/number_of_phonemes_in_european_languages.shtml

 Goku breaks Nappa's back, paralysing him. That's why Nappa can't get up and Vegeta kills him. I always thought he was just really beat up or tired.

For some reason I was mentally juggling the letters in the word Babadook around in my head this morning, and discovered this: BABADOOK - BOOK = ABAD Which then becomes A BAD BOOK. Rather clever, considering that a bad book features prominently in the movie.

What the gently caress is going on? I swear that I read every part of this conversation already in a different thread, like, post for post. Next somebody is going to reply to that last post saying that it's a spoonerism, not an anagram.

Tiggum posted:The vowel sound in "butt" is clearly pronounced but in "but" it's de-emphasised and the whole word is rushed over. If you were taking care to pronounce it clearly they'd sound the same, but in the normal way people speak they're different. God drat, you are the most insufferable sperg on the internet. Stop making GBS threads up every thread with your pedantry. No one gives a flying gently caress what you have to say.

So apparently Benedict Cumberbatch is a real person and not a fake name used to mock British people.

Oh gently caress here we go with the Cumberbatch lolfunnienamez derail. I just found out I missed out on backing the Isiah Whitlock Jr. bobblehead a few months ago. Though I can preorder future editions...

I think I have figured out at least five times that "Fight Song" is by someone named Rachel Platten and not Katy Perry.

The phrase, "bet your bottom dollar" means to bet the last of your money, and has nothing to do with your rear end.
