US English involves spitting words out instead of pronouncing them.

That's what I always thought and I found it hilarious when Larry confirmed to me that Hawaiians have a word to describe mainland English speakers as "no breathers" because they think so too.

It doesn't, but I can see why you'd get that impression.

It's funny, actually, because as an American I usually listen to how other places, particularly the UK, pronounce things and how they come up with some of the esoteric pronunciations.

Same with American English, of course, but I think UK English is the one that interests me most in that sense because it's the supposed motherland.

Probably the funniest thing of all, though, is how any interest in etymology has been lost to the ages no matter where you look despite how much it works with prose and the overall understanding of unknown words and other languages. Really think education systems screw the pooch on that.

Going to try and get through some IBO now. Then at least I can start the new season in the week. Animus. Wish me luck, fam.

Edit - Mari Okida is on fire.
