@awlditzy Did it more than once actually. Still miss that video with the puppets.

@nomorepuns The pronunciation of 'r' is pretty crucial to a lot of European languages.
-
@nomorepuns The conversation mostly arose around the pronunciation of the "re" sound in Spanish vs French, wherein Spanish usually emphasizes the e more to make an "ay" sound while French usually emphasizes thr r more to make a "ruh" sound.
-
@nomorepuns Yeah, you could likely pull it off because of your background. I know my Venezuelan friend has pointed out to me in the past that a lot of my French pronunciation habits tend to come out when he's showing me words in Spanish.
-
@nomorepuns Canadian French is more trills than guttural sounds. Actually, most of the inflections are similar to France French, the biggest difference between the 2 is vernacular.
-
@nomorepuns I prefer rolling my 'r's when parlant en français

http://rainbowdash.net/url/821131 in case anyone would be interested, I'd also like any criticism on it.

@nomorepuns Not sure if California is religious enough for that to work, but this far South, with this many Mexicans (and, thusly, Catholics), it just might work....
-
@nomorepuns I just hope there's no law against stealing the beach.
-
@nomorepuns Actually, probably even less, if traffic isn't normal. :p
-
@nomorepuns Yeah, about an hour away.

@nomorepuns About to look into distilling seawater in my back yard.

@nomorepuns true

@nomorepuns It rains for 10 seconds before suddenly stopping. The clouds then bend and form a phrase in the sky: "April Fools LOL"
-
@nomorepuns This is why I'm banned from the hospital
-
@nomorepuns something i don't want to hear probably

@nomorepuns curses

@nomorepuns All jokes have a little bit of seriousness in it.
-
@nomorepuns Oh, it was because the term "Goth" was a colloquialism at the time for the East Germanic tribe of Vandals peoples, so the term itself was actually originally applied to the architecture in mockery as opposed to classification. Also, since this was around the time the Renaissance first started gaining traction, which in turn overwrote a culture which at the time because almost entirely based around the church, so this paradigm shift in culture coincidentally corresponded with a lot of the ideologies of East Germanic peoples, so the newly formed architecture that evolved from the period of Romanesque architecture was dubbed as "Gothic".
-
@nomorepuns It actually originated in the 12th Century in France but didn't start picking up traction until the following century, and spread to most of Northern and Eastern Europe where it would become the dominant style of architecture and maintain it's influence until around the 16th Century.
-
@nomorepuns That's also true, the movement mostly took popularity in Northern and Western Europe
-
@nomorepuns I know, but it was too good to not make the joke
-
@nomorepuns That particular one. I'm pretty sure it falls under the "demeaning religious groups" aspect of the site's Rule 1.
-
@awllah Very funny. Change it.
-
@werewithawl Most apps nowadays are definitely meant to run on the 5, at least. 4 and 4s are pretty aged now.
-
@werewithawl oh my god
-
@werewithawl Oh, that's the single thing that is clearly true. Being sort of an inquisitor as I am though, I tend to try to get rid of lies altogether.
