Today I finally learned how to pronounce Antigonish properly, from a local.

Ana-gonish (with the accent on the -ish)

I wonder if it has anything to do with Antigone? (pron. "An-TI-go-nee", an Athenian tragedy written by Sophocles).

Florida seems a strange place to play ice hockey. The only Canadian sports person I can name is Devon Larratt. Go city sports team!

Way to anonymize that. It reminds me of this fine song:

No, Antigonish derives from the local Mi'kmaq indigenous language.

It's taken on a Scottish pronunciation, making the t silent, just like the d is silent in bodhran (bow-ran) - something I learned in PEI!

That many.

Learning lots of new things in this thread. How not to click on it is not one of them.

I haven't learned that restraint yet.

 

[Trish]

Me neither.

We are a rule observant bunch. Click. Then post. Apart from the hundreds of views in excess of posts, that is. Hell might be too much, but I'll not be surprised if I hear of them cleaning the toilets in heaven.

Yeah, I'm sure some people don't post. Oh well, hopefully they're still caught in the notification/accidental click loop. That's basically hell, right? (and yes, I know I could shut off the notifications, but what's the fun torture in that?)

We could blame the bots and I'm happy to do so in most situations. Here, though, my preference is for accusatory glares at my fellow members. Oh if they could see it.

In other news, the warm weather arrived and then some. I was scheduled to be out of the office today but my afternoon appointment cancelled, so took the opportunity to "work" from home. Called to where my wife was helping her friends out at a show jumping event and watched the grand prix in sunshine. Even had to get me key-app (spoken quickly and as close to one syllable as possible) from the car to protect the top a the head from sunburn.
