I guarantee it's an extremely subtle difference in vowel shape that only native French speakers can hear or indeed care about.

Sharpe posted:I totally thought that was what he was singing too. Thank god I'm not alone. I hate that song so much, almost as much as Saturday in the Park--just the quintessential grocery store muzak. The words there don't fit the meter at all, which is probably why no one can understand what he's singing.

QuelleFuck posted:content: until I was eight, I pronounced "rabies" like the multiple of "rabbi." I could pronounce rabies just fine, but I was in high school before I was able to sort out that rabid had a different vowel sound at the beginning, and was not actually pronounced like ray-bid.

Avoiding shellfish is easy, because shellfish is gross. Pork is awesome, but I could probably manage without it. But no meat and dairy in the same meal? Even poultry and eggs? Cmon God, your killing me here.

Pretty sure if it has any trace of milk product, even whey powder or whatever, it counts. Then again tons of real cheese isn't kosher anyway since it contains rennet.

Pookah posted:My favorite weird bit of irish is "duine gorm", which is the proper phrase to use to describe a black person, except it literally translates as 'blue person'. One theory I read was that it happened because the first irish people to meet a black african didn't want to be rude and call them 'duine dubh' (black person) because that was uncomfortably close to a common term for the devil. Do they not have a word for brown or something?

Nana Visitor was 21 when Grease was released, which seems like a pretty reasonable age for a character that's in high school. E: confirming that Salt was a surprisingly interesting book.
