Wouldn't it be nice if spelling was consistent and phonemic so if you knew how to spell a word, you'd always know how to pronounce it, and if you knew how to pronounce a word, you'd always know how to spell it?

I never made any such claim. Finnish orthography, however, is not only insanely good but in fact the only reasonable way to go about writing a language using an alphabet. (I.e. written language should be phonemic because anything else sucks all the asses.)

Being written phonemically doesn't make up for the rest of the insanity involved in the Finnish language. It's not even fully phonemic, the velar nasal (the n sound in kenkä) is inferred based on the spelling/placement of letters, and inconsistent especially in loan words and there are actually several exceptions to phonemic spelling within the language. Also, tuli, tuuli, and tulli will all sound remarkably similar to people trying to learn the language.

A bunch of my in-laws speak Finnish, and it's always fun to discuss the insanity of that language. I admit to having to use wikipedia to remember some of the weirdness that's been brought up in previous conversations.

Scissors derive from the same word, as they were originally designed for cutting chick peas in half.

They have the same root as cesarean, which means to cut or shear. Nothing to do with cici.

I was going to respond by doubling-down harder on my bullshit etymology, but in the process of my research it turns out that the Cicero - chickpea connection was not, as I assumed, a joke and in fact is entirely true and in keeping with Roman surname traditions.

I googled it too to make sure I wasn't missing a joke.

AMPhetamine.



Yes I know it's not on purpose. In fact I looked it up just to be surefor shits and giggles, and it comes from the chemical's full name: AlphaMethylPHenET-AMINE. Neat, and a pretty amazing coincidence.

How do you think amphetamine is pronounced?

The song that goes ‘Put me in coach, I’m ready to play’ is not a random background noise song made for a baseball stadium by some lazy jackoff, it’s actually a very popular song by the guy that sang in CCR called ‘Centerfield’.

It remains the most vapid song I’ve ever heard in my life.

Sometimes, you get a thing about a smell. I couldn't even smell lemonade without puking for a few years because I had drank lemonade before getting a stomach infection. My dad still can't eat macaroons because he ate them when he had a stomach bug, even 60 years later. Just the smell makes him gag.

That’s why he’s still stuck in the form of a worm while everyone else was cured.

Continental (European) soldiers carried their rifles up over their shoulders when marching in formation. Its not the testicles, it’s the location of the testicles.

I had the same issue with carrots, baby carrots had been my favorite snack as a kid, and after a bad bout of the flu And some painfully orange vomit I just couldn’t eat them anymore without gagging.

I finally got over it like twenty years later. It helps that carrots don’t have a strong flavor like some things goons have purgative reactions to.

Evidently a couple-inch wide funnel will collect rainwater pretty well. I'm not really sure why I presumed it wouldn't collect much (it's not pouring out or anything), but it has.

A couple inch wide funnel might get blocked off if you get a hotdog in there, though.

My mom showed me that trick years ago, and I think it's one of those little things that are just really nice for people who can't push the little thing to open them every time. Though, now that I think of it, I wonder if a pharmacy will dispense it to you that way. I work at a pharmacy, I should ask about that when I get the chance.

They would when I was a pharm tech, you just had to request it. The default state is the more difficult state because that way is childproof.
