I'm BACK! So sorry I've been too bust hyperfocusing on tumblr... I'm a bit more able to spread my attention again now!

Something in my eye... also remind me to sort out my peas meta and post it here...

When that passed by on my dash I sobbed!

Wisbech is definitely Whizz- beach.
We've just started teaching some of our school kids a bit of Gaelic.
I studied it for a year and the spelling/pronunciations are just bizarre.
Oh Liberty will know this, but I should point out to others: the Irish is 'Gay lick'.
The Scottish version is 'Gal ick'.
It's the same with Welsh, which I used to speak quite well, in terms of spellings etc.
But the thing with that for me was, I had really good teachers.
Literally in the first Welsh lesson we were taught the alphabet.
So if you put any Welsh in front of me, I would be able to read it perfectly, because I know how to pronounce things.
Of course I wouldn't necessarily understand what I was reading.

 
See all this is completely my geek linguist coming out but there's a thing called Orthographic transparency where Graphemes=morphemes always!

Polish is like that and yes I read books to my little Polish friend all the time quite perfectly without having a clue what I'm reading.

Haha, yeah that happens all over the UK, where I orignate from in the UK has a couple of good ones such as
Smethwick= Smethick (with th from the, then etc not TH)

But Norfolk in the UK where I live now has some even better ones.
Costessy=Cossee
Hapisburgh=Haysborough

I love English it's such a messed up mongrel of prounciations!

Two years eleven months and four days.

It's 2016 and hopefully Moftiss won't have kept true to the RL timeline with S4 so it's still taking place in 2014/2015 so maybe, just maybe our boys are out there going for a walk to all their crime scene locations (date nights) and then having dinner at Angelos tonight.

Yeah that's crack... but there's still something about Mary we're missing

I think I've spotted a coupld more. ukaunz I definately think we're onto something... Is it ok if I go away and work on a meta about this?

Thanks, Little Weed. That's the Animals album cover  I can't find something really telling either ...

 
Ok... that'll teach me to pay more attention to which bands have which albums (I can know the words to an entire album but I never know what music is by whom. I have much more sucess with classical composers!)
