But it does no good to pronounce it the Italian way only to find out the family is miffed because they've anglicized its pronunciation for the past century.

What bothers me is that it seems a majority pronounce "coup de grace" as "coo de gra".  They know French endings have a lot of silent letters, which is OK w the "p" in "coup", but it comes out sounding in French like "coup de gras", "blow of fat/grease".

Here I thought I was the only one who laughed at that.  Privately, of course, so as to preserve the joke.

I'm tired of keeping jokes to myself, which is what frustrates me about Lost.

A relative asked me for winning lottery numbers, and I immediately busted out with 4, 8, etc., and he was all, "Thanks!"

No idea if he knew what I was referring to or if he was going to play them. Tune in next week.

And on the Supreme Court for the last 30 years.

In order to not pronounce this even remotely correct, one must have no Spanish/Latin/French and, obviously, Norwegian in their past.   ;D

I always empathized with Ben Linus and Richard Alpert. I didn't care for the plane crash idiots.

Could be. My relatives are quite suspicious.

Sultans of Swing, this song rocks.

I wish Heather would drop in "Skateaway" once in a while.

But I don't mean jokes about Lost.  I mean I may be the only person in the world who actually "gets" it (and it is hilariously funny in a dark way), and even then it took me much longer than the show actually ran, & I doubt I would've gotten it had I not been a friend of its creator.

Wait a minute...wasn't the Hindemberg filled with Hydrogen?

They'll be rich and miserable - isn't that the American dream?

Some of them were idiots.  Others of them knew perfectly well they hadn't been in a plane crash.

I may have to call in later about the idea of covering roads and parking lots with solar cells.

Robert

So far, so good, but if you don't understand the energy relationships, you're thinking woo-hoo, free energy!

lol targeting middle class..that still probably can not afford it

Robert

Saying you can make hydrogen from sea water, "no limits", is like pointing out that you can make graphite from a lot of carbon sources, so "no limits" to what you can write!

Well, Locke, but look what happened to him. Think about it, Alpert and Linus figured out how to survive on that hellish, ridiculous island. I respect that. I kinda liked the crazy French broad too.

This is a tough topic for anyone to make interesting. Good Luck Heather.
