I'm not sure what "specularite" is, but I believe that there are 39,916,800 ways to misspell it.
It's a mineral....and I've managed to personally use about 50 of those misspellings this afternoon. I think Wikipedia is laughing at me.

Misspellings aren't so bad. Or mispronunciations. Unless someone decides to make a big deal about it...and won't drop a simple slip of the tongue...

Not that I'm bitter...

quick story:
There are things that my "friends" never let me live down. I used to collect comic books. Back in the day, DC/Marvel had a huge crossover called "Amalgam". Seeing a word and knowing what it means is one thing. Knowing how to pronounce it is something else. I pronounced it to rhyme with "Camel Gram". Yeah. 10 years later and they still gave me a hard time about that.

Well, on the bright side the kidlet didn't hit anyone today. On the down side he also refused to participate in class at all.

Live camera in the little town where I lived in Japan: Mino-cho Webcams

The lower left one is Takase River. My friend Masa (who sent me this link) just moved to a new house here with his wife. The two little orange dots right next to each other below and to the right of it are the middle school (the box with the line through middle vertically) and the elementary school (the one that looks kinda like a closed umbrella). I lived *right* next to the junior high school, which is where I worked. The red circle is probably the town office...it was on my side of the river just down the road from the elementary school.

The camera the farthest right is Fureai Park - this is the onsen, or public bath, in town. This is also where I found my kitty Hikari, abandoned by her previous owners and surviving off lizards and bugs she could catch herself and food she could beg off the patrons of the onsen.

Trying to make FHDM explode again?

Well, I was deleting old emails and found the one with this link from a friend in Mino-cho.

Exploding FHDM out of jealousy is just a bonus! :)

vindictively stands next to Jess Door's new shoes before exploding into messy bite-size FHDM pieces

Admit it. You just like spending time in the Joss Whedon box.

She also can't pronounce aluminum to save her life. In fact when I say things like 'alumumninimun', I am in fact mocking her. Not nearly as enjoyable as it was when we lived closer and she heard me doing it, but *I* know I'm making fun of her and that's what counts, isn't it?

Though, to be fair... I and my youngest older sister grew up talking about the hippomopotamuses... However, I got over my error.

Most of my mispronunciations are word I've read much much more often than I've heard.

I still know people who pronounce phylactery as "fluh-set-air-ry" when it is in fact "fi-lac-ter-y". It leaves me boggled when they tell me that I'm wrong too. It's in the dictionary... O_o

"Pique" really confused me. Then there are words that don't make ANY sense whatsoever -- "Colonel". And ones that are technically not English -- "hors d'oeuvres".

You don't really appreciate just how messed up the English language is until you have children. "Have" and "Come" are simply wrong.
