I think he's hugely underrated and hope Star Trek gets him some recognition... but it doesn't seem to be working so far.

So as it turns out, "haute couture" isn't pronounced as "hot cooter". That was an awkward dinner party.

I was in a play as a kid at summer camp, and part of its script called for another kid to say "hors d'oeuvres." She pronounced it as "whores doovers" during the first read-through. It's a common enough joke or error that it was in The Simpsons once. That was the way I found out about how to say "hors d'oeuvres," though; I knew it wasn't "whores doovers," but I hadn't known exactly what it was.

That was the original idea, just close enough to be believable. I read a lot as a kid and I'm English but live in America. There's loads of words that I only knew from books and didn't actually know how to pronounce properly and I discovered that in America people don't correct me most of the time, I guess because they assume I must be right because of the accent. Hence the  idea.

Nthing the "Guantanamo Bay is in Cuba" thing mentioned a few pages ago... I had always thought it was in Central America or something, and only recently learned of its true location a few weeks ago. And I was completely unaware of the whole political clusterfuck regarding the US's presence there.

My dad's the son of Italian immigrants, and when I was growing up my family would always say a word that sounded like "Scoosee" to get you do something or move out of the way. I was in college by the time I figured out that's a real word, not just baby talk my mom made up--"Scusi," "Excuse me."

It was fun looking up the fact that only between 18 - 35 percent of the population that has Photic sneeze reflex [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_sneeze_reflex]. Now I know why people look at me funny when I joke that I'm allergic to the sun. I also used to get really sick in church when my parents made me go, and I still get sick (and cranky) if I have to stand in line for an extended amount of time. Turns out blood likes to pool in my legs if I'm not moving around. Good times!

It's one of the things they check fighter pilots for before training. If you suffer from photic sneezing, you can't be a top gun. In fact, I'm not sure you could get even a civilian pilot's licence at all. Not much fun to be a passenger in a plane trying to land while the pilot is blinded by sneezing.

When I was about 2, my 19 year old cousin died. Growing up everyone always said he was cleaning one of his guns and forgot it was loaded. It took me way too long to realize they just didn't want to tell us he killed himself.

When Netflix said there would be a new season of Arrested Development today, I thought they meant they would add a new episode every week starting today. Nope, entire 15 episode season. In my defense, it's the first Netflix-produced show I've bothered watching.
