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!

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

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.

Bots and search engines account for the overwhelming majority of views.

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?)
