- To Richard Johnston from Manhattan upper west side:
No offense, but standard American English puts the stress on the first syllable for "vagary," and it seems less of an issue if one says "lih" instead of "lee" in pronouncing the third syllable of "sacrilegious." I take issue with Brits who call the Pentagon the "Pentihgin." They may pronounce the word "pentagon" that way, but the building's the way we pronounce. If they can tell us "Gloucester" is pronounced "glowster," they can say "pentahgon." If I'm in the U.K., I might say "shedule" instead of "skedule," but ultimately we'll understand each other, and that's all that really matters to me.
- I used to find myself distracted by the prospect of being online, often going to Huffingtonpost.com. I got disenchanted with the way things were being handled there (a bit too much censorship, a bit too much attention to fluff, etc.), spent much less time there as a result, and now find I don't really think about spending time online much anymore. I'm in my 40s.
