A compulsive liar lied again? Shock, horror.

But never, never try hedgehog uni.

Similarly, “dinosaur” is pronounced dino-sour, and not as dino-saw.

In ancient Greek, as best we can tell. The “i” is more like “ee” as well. In English, it’s “die-no-sore” unless you’re non-rhotic, and if you are, then piss off, you posh ponce.

In English, it’s a matter of honor to mangle foreign loan words, unless you’re the kind of twit who pedantically pronounces foreign words as though you’re not speaking English, but the language of origin. That’s most common with French loanwords, since French was once considered higher-prestige than English. But I’ve even heard people attempting to pronounce Arabic words like that, despite having no idea of Arabic phonology or case inflection, with ridiculous results.

There are no Greek C’s. With Greek loanwords into Latin, “k” was mapped to Latin “c.” Then the pronunciation of “c” diverged, with the Catholic Church adopting the Italianate pronunciation of the letter “c” in the Middle Ages, which was not the preferred pronunciation in classical Latin. We know how Latin was pronounced because the Romans actually wrote guidebooks for newly-assimilated Romans on how to speak proper Latin. That’s also how we know that “r” was trilled or rolled-- the guidance was “make it sound like a dog growling.”

Even English has wide variations in how diphthongs are pronounced. I’m living in southwestern England, and the old boys pronounce the sounds in diphthongs almost separately: “boy” is two syllables: “bwooey.” But like regional dialects everywhere, that’s fading in the younger generation.

I see that your dialect pronounces “pen” and “pin” the same. Midwestern US?

The third way would be a difference in how the diphthong is pronounced: “-aur” or “-ower.”

Me too. I’m not a pedantic Latin-pronouncer who’d say “ken-tower”

What he’s talking about, though his handlers may not have explained it to him yet, is an alliance with Russia to control the entire northern tier.

Equating all Jewish people with the fascist apartheid regime is in itself antisemitic

Arguably true.

and the number one cause of antisemitism in the world

No, that’s right-wing nationalism, including fascism.

Too bad lying about it won’t make it go away.

something like 92% of all academic articles on climate showed that man-made problems were causing global warming

And the other 8% were shilling for fossil-fuel companies-- most of them knowingly.

Don’t bother arguing with bullshitters. They’ll just change the goalposts.

This is not a debate. This is a matter of power. We need to shut down the fossil-fuel extractors before they kill even more of us.

Yep: not peer-reviewed, deal breaker. Proprietary, not open-sourced: deal breaker. Benefits a genocidal colonialist state: deal breaker.

We didn’t lock into Biden and that’s why we now have Trump.

Are you implying Biden would have won?

DNC wants to

DNC says it wants to…

That’s something entirely different. When the Dems have had the votes, they didn’t deliver. Just like Trump, ignore the words, look at the actions.

Oh, that’ll really help.

Somewhere in DC, there’s a speedbump that they should name after Biden.

Wait, I thought that was proven conclusively years ago.

Trump has no cunning plans.
