>sirrah
How do I pronounce this word?
Also Ive always read Viscounts as Viscounts not (Vye-count) until recently

I felt like an idiot. Also it was an okay movie

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 6 00:06:00 2023 No.22461009 >>22460651 >>22460997 This is normal. 90% of people will go their whole lives without saying or hearing that word. I feel there are many writers’ names I’d pronounce incorrectly because I never hear how they are pronounced

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 6 00:21:29 2023 No.22461060 >>22460615 >>22460632 it's disputed but I think the most common version is more like 'sear-uh' -- imagine someone with a Boston accent saying 'mirror', but with an S instead of an M

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 6 14:32:11 2023 No.22462918 >>22462472 Compared to everything else. "Okay" is well beyond average. Yes it was okay. I like Adam Sandler, and I like the subtle nod to Chubs - the black colonel with the fake arm

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 6 14:39:13 2023 No.22462940 >>22462918 Hmm, very well. I'd like to recommend you two movies, Uncut Gems and The Lighthouse (2019).

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 6 15:48:59 2023 No.22463123 >>22462940 Well then I recommend Big Trouble (2001) with Tim Allen and Drowning Mona (2000) with Danny Devito. Both movies are comfy kino.
