"It's stylish - it's very in."
"Oh well, if it's IN." :D

His outrageous (and hilarious) characterization George Washington as shallow and inept is a spot-on anticipation of the shallowness and ineptitude of Bush.

16. is it sooooooo strange to pronounce it that way?

I guess we just do it here in the south or something. it's just that one word episode that you pronounce the p with an f you guys are making it look like I have some kind of lisp or something and I don't. SHEESH! yeah english is a strange language you know, we pronounce "island" as "eye-lend" but that doesn't mean every freakin' s is silent to us. SHEESH!

[ghostsofgiants]

18. P != F...PH = F

Hope that clears it up for you.

19. Take it easy, we're just having a little fun here;

regional pronunciations always seem a bit odd when you're not from around there. I remember when we moved to Philadelphia when I was a kid, and I simply could not understand why anyone would want to warsh their face, rinse it with wooder, and dry it with a tal.

They when they were done, they'd walk down the payment to do some shopping at the Accame.
