The only things with "true" pronunciations, in my book, are proper nouns. The rest vary a billion different ways.

Actually, upwards of seven billion ways. Oh the wonders of idiolects!

Rei

Yeah. Yeah it really is.

Rei

Awesome, that's very helpful to know! I'll just keep an eye on it, the, from three days on. I suspect I'll bottle it before seven, but probably a few days past three, depending on how it's looking. I'm really hoping this basic recipe works out well, because it'd be fun to play with to see what other...

So yesterday I popped by the brewing supply store and picked up some English ale yeast. It's all cooked up now and living in the boiler cupboard and I suppose in a few days we shall see if we have success. Noodle, I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on interpreting this part of the directio...

Rei

Oh I definitely agree that it's a lazy attempt. But it certainly is better than what I've seen more often, which is having breadth requirements and calling your school interdisciplinary, despite the fact that none of those breadth requirements intermingle in any capacity.

Rei

That really does sound like a poor attempt at interdisciplinary studies. That said, I'm impressed they actually attempted at something which could be interpreted as interdisciplinary, as opposed to what I usually see.

Rei

Yesterday the river was well up. I'm looking forward to seeing where it is at, today (and am somewhat glad to be a decent ways uphill).

Rei

I used to do it in Toronto, and there's definitely groups in some of the cities not too far from here. The catch is we don't have an affordable way to get there. I think there's salsa and such here, but it's Lindy that I miss!

Rei

Watched Sherlock 2.1 last night with the wife.

Best appearance of Holmes in Buckingham Palace EVER.

This. SO Very This.

Rei

Super windy with spitting rain, here. But not a bad as Scotland as I hear it which is windier and possibly snow.

Rei

-Started swing dancing again

Out of curiosity, what style? Swing--lindy, especially--is one of the things I really miss here.

2011: Moved continents and had a baby. Oi.

Rei

I'm not sure which I'd go for. I can hold my own with intellect, but I lack most of the discipline to actually make use of it. Some part of me feels that if I were actually smarter, I'd make myself be self-disciplined anyway, even though it takes work. At the same time, I'm already well ahead of mos...

Rei

Definitely a book for me, although I didn't join until about a year after I read it.

Rei

Gonna read AWoG...

I had to ask EL what this one was because apparently I keep forgetting it exists. Ever since Ender's Puppy I've had a hard time thinking of it as a real book.

Rei

So I'm looking at trying this recipe. Any suggestions for a particular yeast I should try?

Rei

Just because Gaius is A doctor doesn't mean that he is THE Doctor. And Merlin is far too awkward about magic to be the Doctor

Rei

Dear Bob,

I need this pain to go away. I've only had three hours of sleep tonight because of it and I can only get less than two more if it will let me. I really, really hope they can help at the walk-in tomorrow...

Rei

I'm really, really tired of being ill and in pain. This has gone on far longer than I can ever remember being ill in the past.

Rei

Yeeesh that's nightmarish. And alarming to see someone get such a hard-on for the Fords.

Rei

Good show!

Rei

That reminds me a bit of the Flannery O'Connor I was reading recently. The kind of language being used by her characters was utterly foreign to me and you could see how they thought they were being polite and what have you while still being horrified at their attitudes and language.

Rei

I've been ill this past week and it has resulted in something of the hobo look.

Rei

If anything it's rural areas that reek of manure. Only when you live on the outskirts of towns or in the country. And even then, most farmland doesn't smell bad (it's mostly just the pig farmers and dairy farmers that smell). And as someone who has lived near both a dairy farm and a pig farm, it wa...

Rei

On the earlier note of time, the half-hour here, e.g. 5.30, is often spoken "half-five".

Rei

While I don't get a mention in this review (or, in fact, any, which suits my rather small part), I DO get a caricature!

Rei

I kind of hate anxiety and trying to decide if happy drugs are making a difference or not when everything in my life is chaos.

Rei

I started out wanting to do English, possibly with some TESL. Then I took a class on the basics of phonetics and discovered that I really like language and when I switched unis, took up a Linguistics degree. The ling dept was a bit too much into the hard, sciencey parts and less into philology (whic...

Of course, Ontario is the only part of Canada that matters anyway

Spoken like a true Ontarian

Rei

Talk about being a week late

Rei

Dear you, This is hard for me to write, even where I know you will almost certainly never see it, nevermind tell you. I imagine when I finally have another job with sufficient hours-to-pay I will tell you large portions of this and you will ignore me and things will remain as they have, that is, rot...

Rei

I fear the day I may ever need to get a computer in the UK, because I'll have to learn to find the keys all over again, except for the ones I don't.

Rei

Dear body,

Please get better. I'm tired of you being over-tired, stressed, and ill. Please stop being ill so that I can deal with the over-tired and stressed.

~Rei

*big hugs for Jan*

Rei

Dear Bob, I'm tired of feeling like I've been run over by repeated trains. I'm tired of being ill or injured, I'm tired of feeling crazy, I'm tired of feeling condemned for trying to take care of myself. I'm also tired of being bored out of my skull at work and feeling like the schedule really isn't...
