Civil disobedience…
April 10th, 2006You know how you pronounce words in English? How the pronunciation is scatter shot, lifted from various other languages and corrupted left and right?
I pronounce Thailand 'thigh-land' because I don't live in thighland, I live in the United States. In the United States, you pronounce th a certain way. If I was Thai, I'd pronounce it however I would pronounce it, and write it with different characters. I wonder what the Chinese word for 'China' sounds like…or the Thai word for 'Thailand', or the Russian word for 'Russia'…maybe you are starting to catch my drift? The Thai don't give a fuck whether I call their country 'thighland' or 'tieland', because both are equally wrong…
I pronounce resume and resume differently, even though both are spelled the same. Why? God bless the english language…
What am I getting at? I don't like the word 'album'. I much prefer the sound of 'alblum' (even though the spelling looks off). I think 'album' sounds retarded, I don't like saying it, I feel foolish when saying it, etc etc. So I'm going into civil disobedience mode once again, and continuing my thigh-fight into alblum.
I'm not alone:
Results 1 - 10 of about 78,000 for alblum
Why? Because I can: How is the english language made and evolving? Usage. It ain't a word until someone uses it, heheh…skeet skeet skeet!
