KOK:
Claire is very obliging, all of a sudden.
DSL:
I wonder now, will there be a flurry of retroactive initiations? Will Hannelore insist upon it, if only to make the OCD books balance -- and will she relent when she realizes it applies to her? What will Faye do?
Then again, said the man sitting at the desk out in the middle of nowhere, Monday will probably be something completely different.
Is it cold in here?:
Giving in to Pintsize once is like giving in to a toddler once. The long term effects make it unwise.
trstn:
She likes it. I'm certain. :)
I seriously laughed at the "Haikus are easy" poem..
I'm not getting into the pronunciation thing too far, but one thing I always found fascinating (as a German native and former "Anglistik" student). German vowels don't move. English do. Look very closely at the phonemes, the sounds you say. (Exceptions prove the rule, like the word "a", while the letter "a" is pronounced differently and has 2 phonemes, go try not to move your jaw and your tongue saying "a". German "a" is one phoneme only, no movement, like in "jar". Probably one reason (combined with those lovely guttural explosive noises we produce; btw the Dutch can do that much better) that German is considered harsh by some people.
however, fresh pot, have a nice day. ;)
Indicible:
--- Quote ---If I should write those two words in the Danish spelling system, I would write nebel and næjbor. The e/æ distinction carries meaning in Danish. E.g.
hele (whole) vs. hæle (heal, the body part) or seler (suspenders, safety belts) vs. sæler (seals, the animal).
--- End quote ---
So, Danish is closer to old Norse, German has changed due to the influence of Germanic languages, and English is a mish-mash of Norse, Germanic languages and French. And some Gaellic for good measure.
Claire bends over for Pintsize. Okay, that came out wrong.
Could we have a kinkster in the making? (I swear, if Jeph puts Allie and Lisa somewhere, my squealing will mimic Hannelore's...).
