Of course, it's all a little academic, because whenever you actually want to spell something correctly, "whisky" is the correct name of that letter. | ||

"Dubs" is easy to say, preserves the sound, and, more importantly, is immediately recognizable in context.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Zerg had little baby units that where 50m 50g 2supply, that where harmless at first (as in: single zergling) but gut huge bonusses to their stats the longer they survived? You'd have to protect them, hide them, feed them... And after 8 minutes they'd be 2supply Ultra's-with-stampede! (Hm, I just realized this is roughly how 3-3 bio works ) | ||

In my head there would be an accent mis-match with the term coming from someone who sounds pretty much like me as a Minnesota. I'm no good at geography but how many Minnesota are there, and how does someone become one? | ||

A, Be, Ce, De, E,Eff, Gee, ...,...Double-you ??????, Ax, Why, Zet. Yeah, conventions a little disobeyed, moreso in US. Almost all letters' names start with the letter, except "ex." In US we also have "eych" which really doesn't have an "h" in it (except in the compound), unlike the Brits (et al) who say "heych" which sounds ugly as balls, but at least starts with the letter. Why we don't use "hey" as the name is beyond me. And then there's "zed" versus "zee." + Show Spoiler + To fuel the USvUK fire, notice how the periods/quotes are above? Edit: Okay, I also have a question, speaking of national differences. Was reading through some of Slate's highly entertaining "If it happened there" series and it said (perhaps hyperbolically) that things like Prime Minister's Questions were common among Western Democracies. While I am a huge fan of the concept, I was under the impression that such a form of debate was fairly rare. Does anybody know what other countries have some version of this, where the head of government regularly faces direct questioning from members of the various parties and has to answer them on the spot? Just curious about the extent and forms of the practice. | ||
