Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Pronunciation:

A woman I worked with many many moons ago called a resident of the nursing home we worked at Ms. Camp-bell. When I corrected her with "cam-bell. the p is silent", she stared at me and asked how I knew.

"Do you call it camp-bell's soup?"

"Yes."

I left her alone.

Yikes! I do an almost Camp-bell pronunciation. I pronounce the 'P' very softly, so you can't really hear it. I basically slur the the p and the b together. Thank you for correcting the error of my ways!!!

Heheheh.

t says "campbell" to self a few times out loud.

It does sound like the p and b are sorter combined, huh? Well, that's the way to say it. NOT CAMP-bell.

I'm at work and 3 people in the past 30 minutes have just said "cahton" as in carton of cigarettes/milk/etc. Now, I have always pronounced the R. Am I wrong on that as well?

Skyzy, no you are so very correct.

We have a friend from Northern California that pronounces "almond", "Am-mund".

WTF is that?

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

"It is a far far better thing I do, than I have ever done." From carton to Carton. And yeah, I always say the R.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Am-mund".

That's how you say it!
