Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

I thought they did, but collaquial use of them is the same, and the pronunciation is close. Why is it the Arabian term and not mimicry of the American pronunciation of a term that’s been in the language since the 1700s?
Just wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing anything. North Americans are fiercely enamored of an unaccented alphabet.
In French the meaning is literally “see there”.
Because of the missing accent? It’s an Anglicized spelling.

15·14 days agoI regret to inform you that the internet was alive and well in 1989. I can personally attest to downloading dirty pictures from newsgroups, even if the larger ones required multiple pieces and we had to clip the headers and concatenate the files. The online guitar archive for tablature was also available and 100% free.

No. I was wondering why you needed another word that sounds almost the same that means the same thing. e.g. Olly Schmidt instead of Holy Shit.
