I know an Eobhan. Pronounced Ay-oh-ban. I have to bite my tongue not to correct her own pronunciation of her name every time.

I'm assuming it's pronounced "Yvonne?"

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.

How do you pronounce inertia?

Proper nouns have actual correct pronunciations.

One person’s name has a correct pronunciation but it doesn’t mean every person whose name is spelled that way has to be pronounced that way.

I saw Bohemian Rhapsody in theaters with my dad and sister without knowing that Bryan Singer directed it.

I’m not a rock historian either so I just remembered when I was a kid and dad would play a Queen cassette when we drove to visit the natural history and hands-on museums in Ann Arbor and my sister and I would laugh at the falsetto part of Bohemian Rhapsody.

We went to a pizza place after the movie and it was a nice family outing :negative:

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

I can’t do IPA, but she basically did “AW, shin” to my “er, SHEEN?” I stand by mine becaue I knew an Oisín once but since neither of us is irish, who knows.

The i-fada is a long ee sound, and the s is going to sound like sh sitting next to the i. Depending on where it’s being said, it’s something like uh-sheen or o-sheen.

I thought Bohemin Rhapsody was ok. I get that facts get changed to make the story work better, but the whole sequence of Freddie falling out with the band and his solo work being a sign of of his out of control ego bothered me more than I expected.

(In reality the band was feeling burned out at the time after their most recent album and they all wanted to go off and do their own stuff for a bit. The other big change of course is that Freddie wasn’t diagnosed until a few years after the Live Aid concert, but it makes a better climax so that didn’t really bother me)

I think it was just an arbitrary post they could grab. My guess is the thread with the offending post had already been gassed and once a thread is gassed you can no longer cause a ban from one of those posts, because Radium.

No, it's that every time I heard the movie title "When Harry Met Sally" I vaguely remembered the cover art for "You've Got Mail" since my brain just literally didn't care enough to remember they're different movies. I definitely knew it at one point though!!!

You've Got Mail looped on the computers at my first job, yet I still cannot tell you anything specific about that movie other than I remember the indoor lighting on it being very yellow (may be a consequence of those early LCD screens), and Tom Hanks doing a big exaggerated click into an enter key on a laptop while in bed.

TBH I confuse it with Sleepless in Seattle more.
