Frankenstein (coolest person in all the countries of Europe) was the monster. Phil was the doctor.

When someone says or types that something is a "mute point" rather than a "moot point" I want to punch them in the throat.

Forte, as in "pedantry is my forte," is properly pronounced with just a single syllable, a homonym of fort. Used in this sense, it's a borrow word from French, and that's how they say it. Not to be confused with forte as a musical term, which is borrowed from Italian and is pronounced with two syllables.

I'm still pretty hung up on 'literally' even if they officially changed it or whatever. Still think it's bullshit.

averse vs. adverse they are not the same word I don't correct people though, that's rude and pedantic, so I guess I'm not pedantic about it, it just bothers me a little same with fonts and founts of knowledge, weather and whether, eke and eek, er and err (and how to pronounce the latter), and dozens more such trivialities it doesn't really matter, language and spelling all evolve and they move toward or perhaps towards whatever the drivers of the culture randomly do, we can't control it so the best we can do is try to keep up.

Here's one: When people try to correct valid regional pronunciation it bugs the hell out of me. "GI-luh-teen" (UK) and "gee-uh-teen" (US) are both correct, but I've never been able to say one without someone trying to correct it to the other. THEY ARE BOTH CORRECT, YOU WANNA-BE PEDANT.

My favourite canned response to some jerk saying "I could have done that" looking at Voice of Fire or something, is "Yeah, but you didn't." I once did exactly this. I knew their response before I even said it, and I'm not sure why I said it, so it was kind of surreal. The problem with the "but you didn't" response implies that if I had made exactly that painting - exactly that painting - people would give me a similar amount of money and recognition for it, but of course that wouldn't happen. I think people are mostly just upset at the obvious money-laundering scheme. Ralph Hurley posted:Your Anus or Urine Us? I blame Articuno for my inability to spell these words for a long time.
