QuelleFuck posted:When I was a kid, my much older cousin told my younger brother and younger cousin (they were the only family members really into video games) that they could always just google "(whatever game) faq" to find cheat codes and so on. The kicker was that he told them "FAQ" was pronounced "fahkyoo." You had Google when you were a kid? gently caress, I'm old.

Silver Falcon posted:Our moon is the fifth biggest moon in the solar system! Behind Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, and Io. All of which, except for Titan, belong to Jupiter (Titan is a moon of Saturn). We're the only terrestrial planet in our solar system to have a moon as big as ours. Interestingly enough, one of Pluto's moons (Charon) is so big relative to it, that it is considered by many to be a binary system.

Rorac posted:Astronomy geek here, but the first is basically true, because the center point of mass for Pluto/Charon is between the two of them, the exact point is above each of their respective surfaces. The mass center of the Earth/Moon system is beneath the Earth's surface though. Pretty sure that's the biggest thing preventing the Earth and Moon from being classified as a binary system. Yeah, this is what I was getting at. Pluto and Charon both orbit an empty point in space between them. The Moon orbits the Earth.

andipossess posted:Telephony is not pronounced tele-phony but rather te-LEH-fuh-nee. It's also apparently a real word and not just a bad pun. I was misled by an episode (called "Telephonies") of, uh... something. People know how to use Google. We all know you watch The Powerpuff Girls. And now that you're embarrassed about it. Don't be. It's a good show.

Warm und Fuzzy posted:I was watching a clip of Nicholas Cage in Wicker Man and he pronounces quixotically "quee-zotically". You never hear it out loud, but I always read it "keehotically", like you say Don Quixote. The dictionary sides with Nicholas Cage. Kind of. It's more like "Quik-sahtik-al-ly."

Maybe I was just a huge loser, but when I was 14, me and my friends were playing grand theft auto and downloading pictures of tits on a lovely dial up internet connection. I don't recall action figures or sex at that age. I know it happens, but it can't be that common.

Davinci posted:Do people seriously think its weird to drink milk with dinner? What the gently caress? What the for real actual gently caress? No, but it's also not weird not to. I would say if anything, it's weird to drink the same thing with dinner every night (except water, I suppose). Or if not weird, just boring. I can't imagine having milk with, say bouillabaisse. Or sushi. I suppose if you only ever ate meatloaf and stew and Mac and cheese for dinner, it would be fine.

Lady Naga posted:Yeah it's really not that different, the only change is that the last syllable goes from "voo" to "vuu", and the first syllable sounds like you're taking a bite out of an apple. It's not a big deal or anything, it just always sounds "off" to me. The problem is that most native English speakers cannot make the proper sounds for those words. It's the closest we can do without years of practice. When you add that to the fact that native English speakers have a MUCH wider variety of accents than native French speakers (and the fact that we have a poo poo ton of loan words with weird and non standard rules), you'll understand why we aren't very precise about proper pronunciation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-en-iDeZEE KillHour has a new favorite as of 04:43 on Jan 18, 2016 |

Red Ryder posted:That's correct, the Spanish lisp pronounces z's and soft c's like the english th, though not all Spaniards have that accent. Latin American accents don't have this sound. I'm not sure what the person you were quoting was trying to say, but it's certainly possible for a Mexican to pronounce the sound especially if they speak English. My girlfriend is from a part of Mexico where they speak spaniard style, while my spanish teacher was from a different part of Mexico.
