    Ok, I'll give it a shot, and this will be a completely random guess because you make it seem like it must be very non-phonetic: mine-give/guyv (hard "i" sound on both syllables, not like the word "give").

    Uh, yes, I actually agree with that completely.

    EDIT: Nice catch.

    As I said in the Who's Online thread, I know all and see all.

    And that is what we call a Freudian slip.

    Still wrong. Who pronounces Ore as or-eh. Seriously. Are we all Canadians now?

    Ore isn't pronounced ore-eh. But reg has the eh sound in it. So O-REG-on or gun or whatever

    EDIT: It's like OREGANO. Do you pronounce that Organ-o? No

    It's "Ore" "gon". Two syllables.

    You are the wrong percent. The majority might not always be right, but in this case we most definitely are.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
