    Oh, that is so annoying! My starter went a few months ago. AT A GAS STATION. I was pissed. Cars are frustrating.

    yeah, this was the second problem in less than a month!

    I got it resolved though-- for $150 ://///

    That reminds me. I should get my transmission fixed before my car explodes. I'm not sure when it was checked last.

    Hm.

    I will comply with this proposition when people start pronouncing the word Southern properly. "South-ern" not "Su-thern". It's right there. In the letters. None of the other directions, East, West, or North are mangled in such a way.

    Unacceptable. Absolutely infuriating.

    This is silly. Phonology and orthography are completely different and it's not like you can change pronunciation like that o.o. I suspect it loses the diphthong because it would make the syllable too heavy with it, but I'm not too sure.

    I dunno, I pronounce southern as "suh-thern" since it sounds about right to me, even though I say south with the proper "ou" sound.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    All of you should get a horse like me! You need not pay for any petrol nor silly batteries and its poo can be used to fertilize the plants!

    LOCALIZED PRONOUNCIATIONS MEAN EVERYBODY SPEAKS THE SAME LANGUAGE DIFFERENTLY! USA = INDIA?

    I have to pay for hay. And a lot more motels since I can't get anywhere fast

    TODAY'S RANT:

    I GOT LIKE EIGHT FRIGGIN' MOSQUITO BITES YESTERDAY WHILE WAITING FOR THE TROLLEY TO TAKE ME AWAY TO THE FUTUR>>> TRIVIA NIGHT.

    <Roogle> A Friggin' Mosquito appears!

    Seriously, for some reason, I am like their <del>bella swan</del> heroin. I remember one famous summer I counted well around 50 bites on my body!
