I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

A deli near me sells smoked sausage that I absolutely love. I've used it in soups many times and eaten it by itself as a snack. I've been buying it around once a month for over five years.

Found out yesterday that the casing isn't considered edible.

If it's a cellulose casing, you can eat it. It's just kind of pointless. If it's a plastic casing, you probably shouldn't eat it. It'll pass through you, but it's not the best thing in the world.

If you notice strings of un-chewable things when you're eating, that's plastic. If you notice pieces of flavorless nonsense when you're eating, that's cellulose. I've been know to eat cellulose casing out of laziness.

Recently I learned that rheas are not, in fact, extinct, and South America does still have person-sized birds running around

I think I must have conflated terror birds (which are extinct, and from South America) with moas (which are also extinct, from New Zealand, and the word sounds a bit like rheas)

The stain remover Tabort is called Tabort because it's originally Swedish and "ta bort" is "take away" i.e. "remove" in Swedish.

Is it not SER-sha? That's what they were calling her on the Graham Norton show last night.

To add to that: I had an argument with my English(!) teacher in Year 9 about how to pronounce the name Siobhan. I might not know how Saoirse is pronounced but I know for a fact there's no one named see-OB-han in the world.

Even at "sear-sha," that doesn't rhyme with "inertia." They're slightly different sounds that happen to end in an "uh," which doesn't make them rhyme.

the ertia part of inertia is the same (or very similary) sound as the aiorse part of Saiorse

From my understanding the first syllable is somewhere between "sair" and "seer," but like many Irish vowels it's a vowel sound we don't really have in English.

I was in year 9 in 1991 so, no. I'm sure it's enough of a common experience that I'm by no means the only person to recall it happening.

Saoirse Ronan is ser-sha, yeah. I saw her on Conan or Colbert or something where she said how to pronounce it, and mentioned Irish people always tell her it’s wrong.

So both are right depending on if you mean the actress, or the name in general.

Also there are absolutely See-ob-hans now. People see it spelled but never spoken and like how they think it sounds.

I assume even the Irish aren't sure how to pronounce most Irish words, so no, go ahead and report back.

Now that I think about it, going by the diacritic I'm pretty sure the consensus pronunciation at our school was actually off and we were emphasizing the wrong syllable. Close, though
