You mean the same as a small insect? Then yes they do.

I had forgotten about that in the Austen books. I'm thinking the custom came over here with the immigrants who settled the South. Other areas may do it too, but I'm not aware of it.

So how do you pronounce "taunt"? Like "tant"?

[Pearl of Atlantis76]

Oh, so now you're ignoring me...

I think you're halfway to China by now. Perhaps time to let go.

If you want to ignore my views, you are more than allowed to do so, but at least have some respect. That's all I'm asking here.

You wanna know why I'm in this thread -- I like it here. I like the people in here. Sure, my main pairing isn't Sparky. I kinda need John for someone else. But when I first started posting in here (which is a long time ago) I was excepted into this dysfunctional family, and these guys they rock and made me feel welcome. Times have changed, people have come and gone, but one thing remains the same... we all love pretty much the same thing so we either respect that or (we get in trouble with the mods) we ignore that which we do not wish to see or do not like to see.

Short version - You respect me as a fan (no matter what I like or not like (which isn't Sparky btw)) and I respect you (no matter what you like, or don't like).

Anyway... with that out of the way... Allons-y Allonzo!

Gosh no, I am not ignoring you, no way! I am just trying to say that in my mind everything has to be Sparky, LOL, I live on Sparky land all the time now, LOL, and because of that I might not consider so carefully perspectives that are not totally my Sparky perspectives, but that’s just how I work, I am terrible when it comes to the things I have a passion for, I totally lose reason and I only care about what I think, I know that I am very bad because of that, but I can’t help it, my temper/personality is not able to deal with those kind of things well, but I do really appreciate other perspectives, and when I meant I would overlook other perspectives, I was trying to say I will overlook them in what concerns them not being that well accepted in my Sparky land, LOL. Gosh, I am complicating things even more now, am I not? Sorry, I am a very complicated person. *peace*

the only Doctor i watch was David Tennant's doctor. he reminded me a little of John Sheppard / Joe Flanigan.

So how do you pronounce "taunt"? Like "tant"?

No, that would be " tawnt".

[Sparky She-Demon]

[JT-2]

No, that would be " tawnt".

Yes, and taunt is just aunt with a t. Therefore aunt should be pronounced awnt.




English is so weird. Multiple gooses are geese but multiple mouses aren't meese.

K9 was one of my favorite Who characters, and Sarah Jane will always be my favorite companion. We could have an old Who vs the new generation argument, but let's not and say we did.

I've yet to watch all older Who's which I'm hoping to accomplish soon. And still have to watch season 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures. I really liked those. I consider myself a Whovian so I think I should at least have a go at the older Doctors and see how I fare.

I see your point clearly...

[Brie]

I’ve never seen ‘Dr. Who’ so I’m a bit lost during this weekend’s theme

So how do you pronounce "taunt"? Like "tant"?

Pointless knowledge of the day – "tant" is the Swedish word for "aunt" (just because those two were brought up)

Add an E to tant and you have the Dutch/French word for aunt.

[Pearl of Atlantis76]

Good to know that. LOL

[mandogater]

Cute, very cute, mandogater!

Thanks. I haven't watched Firefly in awhile but that bit just popped into my head when I saw the pic.

Ok.... just realized that probably meant nothing to the non-Americans. Sorry!

Some sort of TV-show?

[ShipperWriter]

Some sort of TV-show?

One of the broadcasting companies used to air public service announcements featuring actors/actresses from series on that network. NBC would end with a little chime and "The More You Know" marqee across teh screen. Gosh, don't think I've seen one of those in ages ...
