I could say "yerl," maybe. "erl" is just totally wrong.
I feel surprisingly strongly about this, given this is the first time I've heard that there are people who don't say you-are-ell.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's Friday, and even the end of the day on Friday! I wasn't sure this week would ever get there.
What are people doing this weekend? (or now, for those of you for who the weekend has started)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We should try to spread the story that there are people who pronounce 'http' as 'huh tuh tuh puh.'

We have sequel servers. In which we run ess-queue-ell. I'm not sure if the sequel server is actually the SQL server and the dbas use both in a single sentence. Beat me.
In my family, there's only been one time a member was a fan of a sports team: my dad was a big fan of the Rockford Peaches. He used to go to games as a kid.
Grabbed the wrong swimsuit, the old one. Man, that was like swimming in a bag. An incredible clingy and formfitting bag. Pitched it in the lockerroom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
it occurs to me that I've been saying fack longer than I've been saying you-are-ell, maybe that has something to do with my attitude towards them being different.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
