14. there isn't two O's in the word, either...where do you get off pronouncing it as such?
Edited on Tue Oct-25-11 04:46 PM by TK421

13. Being as language is a living and mailable thing,
I chose to pronounce it however I wish at the moment.

15. Mailable? I think you mean malleable. The English language is only 1/26th mailable
You have to do it just one letter at a time.

16. I was particularly
proud of that one. It seemed appropriate under the context of what I was saying.
