Aunt (like 'haunt')

vs.

Aunt (like 'ant')

i was recently questioning jealous vs. envious

I say ant for aunt^^^

i used to only say ant, but i think my friends got me saying ahnt. i dont even know which friends, actually!

also i fucking totally hate adverbs

totally.

i got yelled at for saying 'ahnt' by a coworker, who found it was snobby and, err, north-eastern.

I say "ant." I also say IN-surance.

that question makes no sense to me = HAHAHA I GUESS WE KNOW WHERE I STAND

dude, worst argument ever:

Some urge that since “hoi” is the article “the hoi polloi” is redundant; but the general rule is that articles such as "the” and “a” in foreign language phrases cease to function as such in place names, brands, and catch phrases except for some of the most familiar ones in French and Spanish, where everyone recognizes “la"—for instance—as meaning “the.” “The El Nino” is redundant, but “the hoi polloi” is standard English.

that is BS. it should always be hoi polloi. it doesn't sound right the other way

to avoid confusion, I shout both syllables with equal emphasis.

shouting robot what what

i agree though: dumbest argument ever

this used to be my dad's pet peeve

'If you write “judgement” you should also write “colour.”''

oh balls. such wank. judgment is permissible in english english too.

permissible does not mean correct

e.g. -- Mr Que is permitted to post to noize board

also, it's not wank, it's JACKIN IT

horrible ILE flashbacks. ;_;

i thing i was part of that, jessie!

permissible does not mean correct

i'm talking about 'judgment' being permissible in england. some things are about 'correct', and this is one of them. you can/may use either. judgement is more english-y, but judgment is okay. but 'correct' implies some sort of binary judgement Y: judgment N, and that shit's for the tourists.

I don't understand why more trolls don't just start threads about grammar, since they inevitably turn into 900-post bloodbaths.

I've always written "judgement" :/

same
we're britishes :[

ditto

damn

futurama spells it "judgement" in the iron chef ep, but then mentions in the commentary that they only do it that way because actual iron chef does

i judge you a nerd

im not really even the secondary source of that one

but 'correct' implies some sort of binary judgement Y: judgment N, and that shit's for the tourists.

If by "tourists" then you mean "copy editors" then, yes!

copy editing is about consistency, so "correct" is whichever one the copy editor deems correct

Woah, I was trying to forumlate a description of how I say orange. It's the second way, which is probably wrong.

internal consistency != consistency

you know what I mean

I was once pronouncing the word "orange" to my awesome but sometimes obtuse father-in-law, and he "pretended" to not know what I was saying! He kept saying, "Excuse me?"

I say "are-ange" and "loi-yer"

i do, but i think it's important for there to be more than just each copy editor deciding which is right for them

I say "are-ange" and "loi-yer"

-- Curt1s Stephens, Tuesday, July 10, 2007 5:36 PM (8 seconds ago) Bookmark Link

me too, but i think i might even say "arrnge," like one syllable

that was presuming there was only one copy editor for the publication (I don't actually know anything about copy editing you see, because I do not post on ILM)

(actually I do)

(post on ILM, anyway)

otm. lookit, OED says judgment or judgement are both a-ok. i guarantee you, as a former employee, that there will be books published by OUP (the OED's publisher) which use judgement, and books that use judgment. and yet the world still turns.

OED IS PUBLISHED BY BRITISHERS

I am never writing "judgment" or "judgement" or any of its variations again.

GOOD IDEA CURTIS

OED IS PUBLISHED BY BRITISHERS

I KNOW THAT. SOMEONE SAID '"JUDGEMENT" IS BRITISHES AND "JUDGMENT" IS AMERICAN,' AND I SAID: 'NO WE BRITISHES, AS REPRESENTED BY THE OED, USE BOTH.'

also they have a new york branch.
