No, I've only ever heard the double l as a y. Toby was just being an ass, surprise surprise.
Exactly. When we use foreign words, we pronounce them according to the original language. Like tortilla, for heaven's sake. No one says "tor-TILL-a."
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

SYTYCD: I liked the plaid kid! But I like quirky, and I was pleasantly surprised at his actual control. I still think he's short on the technical skill overall, but I could be wrong about that.
The krumper was amazing. Hope he goes far. Nigel needs to get over himself about it and look at the actual physicality of the movement.
Pleasantly surprised at the 18 year old blonde, too. She had real skill, and such a sense of musicality.
Also, I just love Cat. It's fun to watch how much she loves the dancers.

I do sometimes say "fa-gee-ta," but I try to make it clear that I'm doing so ironically.

"Wicked pissa!" So funny to see her trying out a Boston accent.

I almost don't bother to watch the blond dancers. they're going to vegas if they don't suck out loud because Nigel likes them pretty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think English people say like "fillet" not fill-ay, too right?

Well, not exactly. This is often true with Spanish words, but not necessarily other languages, gyro, for example.

How do you pronounce gyro? I always say "YEE-ro."
