Use Your Goddamn Pronouns!

Dec 15, 2010 09:24

I am listening to James Marsters do a wonderful job with reading White Night, and then he says the word 'niche' and I start twitching like someone's put a live wire to me. Seriously, this is my reaction to the way he says the word: "NEESH, GODDAMMIT, IT'S PRONOUNCED 'NEESH', DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE ( Read more... )

fic rec, tongue-clucking grammarian, h50 squee, oh my life!

TOTALLY BOYFRIENDS.

Also, foyer. I'm with you on the whole niche business, but that one makes me the craziest. IT'S NOT PRONOUNCED 'FOY-YUR', DAMMIT, IT'S 'FOY-YAY'.

PEOPLE.

Argh, the 'foyer' one would make me tear my hair out in frustration as well. PRONOUNCE WORDS PROPERLY, SOME PEOPLE.

So have you started reading H50 fic yet? Because I got links for days.

Noooo, no fic. No way am I jumping into that pool. I already can't keep up with all the J2 fic there is to be had... the LAST thing I need is ANOTHER FREAKING FANDOM.

I'm loving the show, but that's it for me, man. *twitch*

Hee! We'll see how long you last! Actually, considering the very real possiblity the season one is going to end with Steve and Danny probably canonically getting married on the beach, you may be able to last a while. :O

*cough*

Also, now *I* want yummy tea. I should go fix that. *wanders off*

robanybody December 15 2010, 15:09:53 UTC

...okay, well, that made up for EVERYTHING this morning. Nnnngl. You deserve all the yummy tea in the world!

I have to agree with you on mispronunciations - they bug me even when the word is more obscure, but there's absolutely no reason not to know how to say niche or foyer

I really love the Harry Dresden books and have heard good things about Marsters' audiobooks - obviously, I need to schedule a cross-country trip or something so I have an excuse for them

Neesh, people! robanybody December 15 2010, 18:13:32 UTC

Marsters is really amazing on the books, all oddball pronunciations aside. And he gets better with each book too. Him performing Harry and Bob's banter is hysterical and left me gasping for breath when he was done.

'Nitch' is an acceptable pronunciation of the word!?

I pronounce it 'foy-yur', though, please don't hate me. :(

At least I don't say 'nucular'.

robanybody December 15 2010, 18:14:57 UTC

Melanie is very sad that you do not pronounce things the French way. :(

(Also, I will never hate you for saying 'foy-yur'. My dad says 'vit-amins' instead of 'vy-tamins' and I still love him. ♥)

charliehey December 15 2010, 18:24:11 UTC

It's not my fault! I blame my upbringing! Don't be sad, Melanie! :(!

(Hee. That's adorable! ♥)

robanybody December 15 2010, 18:26:13 UTC

Clearly, only an orgy will placate her. :oooo

(It's only cute when my dad does it, though. Everyone else, say it the right way!)

Also: Wreathing for writhing. EYE-chor for ichor. And OMG ANTEEBEEOTIC ARGHHHHH.

JIMBO I LOVE YOU LEARN TO ARTICULATE.

robanybody December 15 2010, 18:16:18 UTC

SRSLY OMG. You are awesome, James, but say things right, dammit!

kita0610 December 15 2010, 18:17:33 UTC

but then he reads sexy scenes and I do not care how he says words

robanybody December 15 2010, 18:25:16 UTC

Nnngh. That and the scenes where Harry gets mad and swears. I like those a lot. :x
