So I met some Kiwi girls last night. I didn't know this at first as the music was loud and I wasn't sure what country they were from. And their accents were, well...

One of them kept introducing herself as "Mah-GAI".

So I kept repeating her name back to her has Mah-GAI. She and her friends kept laughing.

Went through about three rounds of this until I asked her to spell her name... M-a-g-g-i-e.

I'm like, WTF? It's funny when I say it but not when you do?
Now you know how I feel when I think I've gotten a pronunciation correct and I still need to repeat it many times for a native to understand. The day i get how to say Delaware without sounding like "i'm going to The Lover this weekend" i'll throw a party.

My brother couldn't pronounce "r" as a kid so he'd call me hoodie :touched: Then it became a thing and everyone started calling me hoodie, which drove my brother crazy as he was insisting how hoodie is wrong and hoodie is right. Your Mah-gai is wrong, theirs is not :agree:

Because most people here have impacted wisdom teeth in their anus.



Hope? Yes.

Quality? Not yet. Pre-grinding coffee and letting it oxidize and grow stale while you sleep is a good way to ruin good coffee.

And when did you start reading Marie Claire?
Cold brew bruh. Cold brew or nothin.

Don't ask how I tried to pronounce Dunedin, New Zealand to them... :D

Yeah, but what's funny is it seems they expected me to say "Mah-GHEE" like an American pronunciation even though she pronounced it nothing like that. It would be like me saying, "My name is 'Greg', but you should pronounce it 'Swagadelic'".

I generally don't trust coffee that can sit out for two weeks after brewing and supposedly doesn't go stale.

They fuck up their vowels all the time, the useless sheep-shagging cunce.
