9:46 am

MollyL

Is there such a thing as a MacArthur Park Fan? It's one of the most hated songs ever.

9:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hated by whom? It's a period piece. I can think of many songs that are far worse.

9:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

That awful donkey song about Christmas.

9:54 am

BzznBea

phantom: epoch

12:47 pm

cybernan

good moring/afternoon everyone :)

12:49 pm

hurshy

hi nan

12:54 pm

cybernan

not seeing your ca 7-8

12:54 pm

hurshy

it starts like the guy whose death we recently remembered (on the ides of march)

12:55 pm

moolingwa

yeah, would not have found that unaided

12:55 pm

hurshy

well that is why i was so excited that i remembered it

12:56 pm

hurshy

phantom: rescue

12:57 pm

1:05 pm

cybernan

1:05 pm

cybernan

the c's are giving me grief

1:05 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I still need 4 on each

1:06 pm

ch1212

Kaplan, I loved the version Richard Harris did of that song. The tone and phrasing he used on the line "I recall the yellow satin dress..." was wonderful. Of course, around the same time I saw his performance in A Man Called Horse and was listening to the Camelot album. I was a big fan of him, decades before Dumbledore.

1:07 pm

cybernan

phatom chapeau

1:11 pm

moolingwa

need 3 on each

1:11 pm

ch1212

I see the automobile 'acura' is in the grid. I once did a voiceover for them, and when my boss hit playback for the brand reps, I found out I was TOTALLY saying the product name wrong! LOLOL!

1:12 pm

moolingwa

oops

1:14 pm

ch1212

Yes, I thought it was "a-CURE-ah" - lololol.

1:24 pm

MollyL

I would never think to pronounce it that way.

1:26 pm

ch1212

Oh, the way my mind interprets how to pronounce a word can be magical at times, and other times downright hilarious -- I walked around saying omnipotent until my mid-thirties, as "Omni-potent". Finally, a kind soul corrected me.

1:28 pm

ch1212

I suspect it's partly that I taught myself to read before I started school, and I'm dyslexic. And in all the schools I attended, I missed out on the classes about how to read a dictionary or the little symbols sometimes used for pronounciation.

1:29 pm

ch1212

Molly, did you have phonics when you were learning to read? I've heard that helps.

1:36 pm

moolingwa

slow grid this one

1:37 pm

moolingwa

25 left

1:39 pm

hokie carla

1:39 pm

ch1212

I'm stopping for a bit with 54 left. bbl :)

1:40 pm

hokie carla

and LOL, ch1212. that is funny about the acura.

1:41 pm

MollyL

She thought it was an ad for an Italian doctor. A-CURA-a your cold.

1:42 pm

hokie carla

finally realized my missing O was a plural

1:43 pm

hokie carla

1:43 pm

hokie carla

1:56 pm

Christa

Off early, Greetings

1:58 pm

hokie carla

1:58 pm

hokie carla

I can tell you it's a C, F, P, E, T, H, A, S, or R

1:58 pm

hurshy

1:59 pm

hokie carla

hurshy

2:00 pm

hurshy

2:37 pm

MollyL

Speaking of bad pronunciation of car models...the book I'm listening to keeps pronouncing Mazda as mazz-da not moz-da and Hyundai (which is pronounced hun-day) as hee-un-die-ay. It is bugging the crap out of me.

2:38 pm

hokie carla

is the narrator english? I've noticed they do "a" sounds like that. like mario is mare-e-o

2:41 pm

hokie carla

ok, went to the list and still can't find 3 words

2:42 pm

MollyL

No British accent, thank God.

2:42 pm

hokie carla

maybe they are british doing an american accent

2:43 pm

MollyL

If so they are doing a good one.

2:45 pm

hokie carla

except for mazzda 😜

2:49 pm

MollyL

Oh well the pronunciation is atrocious. You would think someone involved in the recording process would recognize the awful errors.

2:49 pm

hokie carla

what are you listening to? what do the reviews say? are other people annoyed? must be bad if someone from baltimore thinks so. 🤣

2:50 pm

hokie carla

oh dear, last word se6 and I had to look it up. regular word.

3:15 pm

MollyL

I'm not from Baltimore
