    Since we're on it... What is it with dropping "to be" from everything these days.

    "It needs painted".

    Really?

  6. The beauty of English is that all nouns can be verbed, and all verbs can be nouned. Throw in some random adverbs, and we can dialog all day. I speak the truth about this truthy Speak.

    In the software world, build is frequently used and fully accepted as a noun describing the results of building software. If you have a problem with that stay out of the software world. Another example of using the word build as a noun is when talking about physiques, as even recognized by Merriam-Webster.

  9. In France there is a palace called Versailles. It is pronounced „vair-SY.“

    In Kentucky there is a town, Versailles, named after the palace in France. It is pronounced, „ver-sails.“. :)

    We do “releases” but I do have to concede the physique correction. I was more referring to the motorcycle/car world.

    English (as well as other languages) is fluid, not static.

    SW Ohio has one too. I gave up on French and Native American pronunciations (mostly street names) living in SW Ohio. Ultimately, everything is named how the people pronounce it.

    Yeah well, I still need to source some new parts for a build that I'm working on, and you aren't getting an invite to the official reveal.

    We fought a war and whooped those brits in order to speak English the way we wanted. We threw off the yoke of a King so we could misspell and mispronounce words any damn way we wanted!

    Now along comes a Prince to try and force you to speak English the way they do in Zamunda. That ain't freedom, it's neo colonialism! Tell Prince Akeem Joffer and his thought police to go piss on a lion and leave our English alone! Stand up for your right to use dominte any gawd damn way you want, incorrectly or not!

    Just like the town in Indiana. :D

    And in Illinois, Marseilles is pronounced "mar-sails"

    I won't even get into "hous-ten" verses "how-sten" in New York City (the street), or "new-ark" Delaware.
