Anything for you Rho.

Mechanically declined is the opposite of mechanically inclined.

Not easily embarrassed, well look around a tell me whom you see.

I knew how to pronounce it because my old SCA group was pronounced "Athena Shee", and the last part was spelled like that. It meant "windy" folk. (Kingman is windy ALL the TIME.)

there's no way you'd come up with "shee" from Sidhe


LJ, Think of it as an opportunity to acquire a bit of culture.


Plus, English is just as bad. You may have seen this before:

ghoti

How would you pronounce that in English? -------- Fish.


gh as in tough
o as in women
ti as in motion

Also for the record, I bet I drink way less than most here...just happen to usually think it's a hoot at the time I'm 3/4 in the bag to hang out here ;-)

I admit I'm overly proud of my current title "Postage doo". It's a strangely complicated yet simple pun.

gh as in tough

ti as in motion
that's not right.

you would only pronounce the gh as an f after ou. the o in women only changes to i because of the e. the ti needs the on to be sh.

bunk example

you should have told that teacher to go ghuch himself
