  • 'Lo and behold'

    (Terribly sorry, I can't help myself.)

  • Switzerland is not in the EU, just fyi.

  • After having that same issue with haguichi, I switched to using hamachi in the terminal only and haven't had it happen since.

  • Americans will do anything other than buy an electric kettle.

  • Who said I'd still have toes?

  • Agreed. Funnily I'm from a more temperate country and she's from where I'm at now, but she's the one that is always cold and wants to keep it at ~22. I ain't gonna argue considering she pays the electricity bill, though.

  • It's gonna get down to -30°C this week, I'll turn the heat off and just throw on the good ol' toque and a sweater and report back, assuming I still have fingers.

  • I use CachyOS and it works great for my gaming needs. I use a PS4 controller on it just fine, no clue about the newer XBOX controllers, but I don't see why they wouldn't.

  • More like [ˈd̪ät̪ä], no long vowel.

    That's my B, I was looking at Ecclesiastical Latin for that one :3

    Interesting points though, thanks for the elaboration. Shows the layers of silliness that is depending upon other languages for the way we pronounce words.

  • Your science teacher was wrong, unfortunately. In Classical Latin, datum is pronounced as [ˈd̪ät̪ʊ̃ˑ] "dah-too(m)" and likewise data as [ˈd̪äːt̪ä] [ˈd̪ät̪ä] "dah-tah."

    Not that Latin should really have a say in how we speak English anyhow.

  • Air Canada should be top 5 imo. I want my three nights in an expensive hotel (the only one with available rooms, at that) reimbursed, goddammit, I don't care if it was out of your control due to "weather" on the nice, sunny day that my wife was having at my destination.

    I might be a little biased...

  • A hypercorrection based on a misunderstanding of the Latin declension for the word, at that.

  • Happy Canada day, legends.

  • Take the red pill, all linguistic categories are equally unreal.

  • Linguistic prescriptivism disgusts me.
