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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also, I just love Cat. It's fun to watch how much she loves the dancers.
"Wicked pissa!" So funny to see her trying out a Boston accent.

Pleasantly surprised at the 18 year old blonde, too. She had real skill, and such a sense of musicality.
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?

No, I've only ever heard the double l as a y. Toby was just being an ass, surprise surprise.

Yes, claret (clair-ette) is another example.
I was happy to see Michelle's response until she went all CNN-reporter with her pronunciation.

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."
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."

Plenty of people say gyro, as in gyrate. And, even though I know it's not really the way to pronounce it, my instinct is to say it that way because that's how everybody pronounced it in college.
I'm sure there are tons of examples from French.

SYTYCD - I was pleasantly surprised by the blond girl. I have a visceral anti-cute blonde girl reaction because most of them turn out to be hair flipping, competition dancer nightmares a la Kherington. But this girl Channing was lovely. Such a strong, powerful dancer. She lacks a little polish, but she's young yet.
I've slept on it and I still find plaid pants boy horribly annoying. And yet, I can't deny there's talent wrapped up in all that mess. But I can't take a season of him and his ties and his "Look at me. I'm quirky!" thing.
Latest SYTYCD blog is here if anyone is interested.
Also, I frikkin' love Cat Deeley. When is she getting her Emmy? That's all.
