Without ever having heard the phrase "parasite word" just from context I could tell he meant words like, "like," "um," "uh." Empty words your mouth uses to make noise while your brain is thinking. Doing a google search for "parasite words" gives a result of the Wiki page for "filler words" which makes more sense than "parasite words" and that Wiki article specifically references President Reagan starting many sentences with "Well...". And yeah, English is a language full of hateful rules. Good/food. Ph = f. Gh being silent, but still being needed for some reason. And then there's all the words from OTHER languages that English has stolen.

Perhaps the rename occurred late after they realized that the Summoner has way too many differences from the original Archvile. Good catch on the out of alphabetalical order thing.

Google "English pronunciation poem" for more examples. Ehh, the difference isn't that stark to me. If you want a good example of a single drat letter making a huge difference, try chair/choir. The moment I heard the latter pronounced I literally facepalmed and gave up trying to make any sense out of English pronunciation for good.

I'm pretty sure that bit was exactly where I got most of my hate for the English language. I remember seeing that bit way back in the day when I was a youngster, and that "gud fud/goood foood" bit has been my go to example forever. Edit: And my 6 year old daughter is going through first grade, and watching her learn to spell is completely different than how I learned it. For me, back in the 80s, it was all by rote, with spelling bees and vocabulary tests, as far back as I can remember. You spelled it right, or you got a red check mark. She's learning with "sight words" that are short words they're teaching by rote, but then every other non-sight word she's learning to spell phonetically, then they correct them later. Reading through her writing, I often have to say the word she's written to figure it out what word it is. My favorite is "wodr". As in, "I was thirsty so I had a drink of 'wodr'." It wasn't until I tried to sound it out that I figured it out it was "water". Context can sometimes help. Wa11y fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Nov 17, 2016 |

Don't worry, Alexey, it took Psychedelic Eyeball years to pronounce some English words correctly with his thick Quebecois twang. His voice is part of what makes his LPs so distinct and lovable. Embrace your second-language English.

Middle school teacher here, I've actually heard a fair bit of bitching from other teachers that spelling has gone down the drain since schools started moving away from teaching how to recognize and read words based on phonetics. Part of phonetics also involves learning rules for pronunciation and kids aren't getting those rules drilled now. So for example, you would read the word "water", learn how to pronounce it as "WAH-ter", then also be taught to remember "that's how you spell the wet stuff we drink from the faucet". Now schools are just leaving the second part off and teaching it separately with the obvious problem.

Out of the languages that I have studied, and I've studied a lot, the ones closest to following this rule are Turkish and Spanish.* Russian is technically there, too, but even though the rules are generally consistent, they are so extensive and convoluted that it's almost as bad as English *the one spoken in Spain get that OUT of my face posted:Embrace your second-language English.

get that OUT of my face posted:That's actually not a bad guess! There are a lot of Russians and Russian-speakers in South Brooklyn, to the point where one neighborhood (Sheepshead Bay) has a bunch of glass condos being built so that rich Russians can use them to embezzle money in real estate in a place where they don't have to learn English. Brighton Beach also has a very large Russian population, as do formerly Italian-as-hell Bensonhurst and Gravesend (which also has people from other parts of the former USSR to boot). Then you've got a fair number of Russian-speaking Hasidic and Orthodox Jews in Borough Park, Midwood, and a stretch of parkway that goes down to Coney Island and starts not far from where I live. I'm likewise a nerd over NYC, and Brighton Beach is awesome for anyone with an interest in Eastern European culture. It's like Chinatown in that half the signs are bilingual or completely written in a foreign script, except this time it's Cyrillic instead of Chinese.

This level is why I think that there must have been two very different level designers/design teams working on the game. Right after a level with arbitrary impediments to backtracking, you get a level that allows you to backtrack nearly all the way through right up to the end. (And then the next level... oh god.  ) I also liked that there were parts of the level you never need to go to but are just there to explore and fight more things. Both this level and the prior Mars surface level are the best in the game imo.
