The point is pretty much exactly what you said. It doesn't really matter what letters you put any where in any word in English; people will pronounce it however they like anyway. And then there will always be some opinionated arrogant contrary fucker - that's the role that I decided to play in this case - will accuse everyone else of speaking wrong.

Personally, I see and sometimes hear a a difference between 'sk' and 'sch'. Just like I enjoy pronouncing both r's in 'February' unlike most people. I think 'color' should be pronounced differently from 'colour' too, and 'meter' is different from 'metre' . And don't get me started on the difference between 'a' and 'ar'. But all of that is just pettifoggery .

People are going to say it the way they say it anyway. Listen to how most Scots pronounce 'where', 'what' etc.; it's been many hundreds of years since the letters were switched, but most Scots still pronounce it much more like the old spellings 'hwer', hwat' and so on.

So add whatever letters you like, say it however you like, because everyone else will keep on doing whatever fits their culture irrespective of spelling.

Maybe that's the wiggly motion you have to with your arm to get it through la manche.

Agoraphobia became popular in the 1950s or something?

I assumed it meant he has comfortable shoes, so he can walk out of the door at any time.

Stupid Ghents.

Yes.

I can only definitively answer on the second part, but i'll take a gamble on the whole thing.

Don't hammer whilst on drugs kids.

It can be a gateway to ridiculous trousers.

yeah, you get choice, and its better than a random closed exe in windows.

Some people have really odd expectations of "free" and "open".

Is there a choosingbeggars community to repost this to?

Just make sure the aur wears a condom when it's going to fuck you, like your mother told you.

I'd like to see more Doom speedruns where the jump-scares break the fourth wall and the keyboard starts gnashing on the players fingers like an enraged ~~tomato-beast~~ cacodemon.
