I feel this thread needs a taste of Shamby-Pamby without the actual thing itself. So....in case you missed it.....Straight from the twisted mind of Bill D.:

"But Shambles...don't you realize that posting reasoned responses to your recapitulative exhortations requires us not only to consider the contextual parameters of the indicated isssue, but also to analyze the temporal framework of the argument so as not to introduce irrelevant personal judgements which have already been judged by the majority of the respondents to not focus on the current situational aspects of all the NON-judgemental impositions which may have been earlier, or at least in different threads, already rendered valueless in the minds of those whose concerns regress to the former devalued impositions of judgement by not only anonymous volunteers, but also, rightfully, by other members (who, posting under their own names, might also BE one of the judgemental volunteers) who decide not to enter the debate without knowing whether the subject at hand has, in fact, been imposed, whether in the thread title or merely during non-judgemental editing which I am led to understand that you also disapprove of in most cases where previous permission has not been sought(from the original poster (or originator of the thread) prior to the perviously mentioned discussion, which, by virtue of its temporal priority, ought to supercede ANY subsequent discussion of judgements, whether anonymously imposed or merely parenthetically referred to , either by you, as 'chief inquisitor' of the investigation, or by newer members of the forum, many of whom have not had the experience of BEING improperly edited or their words censored, and thus who might, perhaps, be reluctant to join the majority whose previous experience has been inevitably affected by repetitious reduncancy relating to the incessant verbosity inundating the very foundations of the entire issues of whether, in consideration of the best interests of our forum, the anonymity of the volunteers (most of whom did not actually volunteer, but were, I am given to understand, recruited,)should be compromised due to the unmitigated Gall of one dissatisfied member who evidently has little other hobbies than to compose interminable and self-referential posts which intrinsically relate to one individual concept of discussion and the overriding value system thought to be, by our moderators, not essential to the more central core of the entire point of having an open forum where dissimilar viewpoints could BE discussed without being left vulnerable to extraneous digressions about imposition of personal taste by those who have no interest in the inveterate balderdash which usually accompanies such digressions and causes many entirely incomprehensible paragraphs to be perpetrated on an umwilling readership anyway?

Wouldn't you agree?"



Ain't that great?

Hitler "stayed the course". He never allowed any of his troops to "cut and run"...and that is how he stupidly lost entire armies at places like Stalingrad, Tunisia, Normandy, East Prussia, etc...

It's one of the best ways to court absolute disaster when you've made intially poor or unrealistic military decisions. Bush obviously does not grasp that simple truth.

He's afraid that if he pronounced "nuclear" properly he'd lose the support of most of his constituency. It is my experience that very few Americans can pronounce the word "nuclear" properly...specially those who like it when the USA goes abroad and "kicks ass" in some small foreign country.

Just as an aside, there are very few who can pronounce "February" properly too. I wonder how Mr Bush says it?

"It is my experience..."

How large is this database, Little Hawk? I know many who pronounce it just fine!....and why single out Americans? Do most Canadians say it better?

(yeah, I'm still poking at attempts to generalize over a population of 300,000,000)

From: Cluin

I've heard a lot of Canadians pronounce it "nucular" as well.

No country has a monopoly on ignorance.

But the President of the United States HAS to have advisors who can point out his ongoing mistake, doesn't he? So he's obviously pronouncing it wrongly (and it IS wrong) on purpose. And that is stupid and stubborn.

Just the qualities you want in a world leader.

I have never been given a rat's ass by anyone. Not even once. This compells me to again ask the eternal question: Who gives a rat's ass?

Bill, there are many, many Canadians who mispronounce both "nuclear" and "February"! It's a tragic situation. I blame it on American TV. ;-)

You can master it, 6. Just do this...

Say "Feb"...pause very briefly...then say..."Roo-ary".

Child's play, really.

Now imagine William Shatner doing it:

"I intend...to take up this......matter in....FEB!.....ruary. Mr Scott, give us Warp 9!"

From the online Merriam Webster Dictionary:

Dissimilation may occur when a word contains two identical or closely related sounds, resulting in the change or loss of one of them. This happens regularly in February, which is more often pronounced \'fe-b(y)&-"wer-e\ than \'fe-br&-"wer-e\, though all of these variants are in frequent use and widely accepted. The \y\ heard from many speakers is not an intrusion but rather a common pronunciation of the vowel u after a consonant, as in January and annual.

Many Canadians pronounce February as Fevrier.

Umburella, Febuary and libary, are common pronunciations in Scotland.
Would appear to be a similar affliction.
