I use CachyOS and it works great for my gaming needs. I use a PS4 controller on it just fine, no clue about the newer XBOX controllers, but I don't see why they wouldn't.

More like [ˈd̪ät̪ä], no long vowel.

That's my B, I was looking at Ecclesiastical Latin for that one :3

Interesting points though, thanks for the elaboration. Shows the layers of silliness that is depending upon other languages for the way we pronounce words.

Your science teacher was wrong, unfortunately. In Classical Latin, datum is pronounced as [ˈd̪ät̪ʊ̃ˑ] "dah-too(m)" and likewise data as ~~[ˈd̪äːt̪ä]~~ [ˈd̪ät̪ä] "dah-tah."

Not that Latin should really have a say in how we speak English anyhow.

Air Canada should be top 5 imo. I want my three nights in an expinse hotel (the only one with available rooms, at that) reimbursed, goddammit, I don't care if it was out of your control due to "weather" on the nice, sunny day that my wife was having at my destination.

I might be a little biased...

A hypercorrection based on a misunderstanding of the Latin declension for the word, at that.

Happy Canada day, legends.

Take the red pill, all linguistic categories are equally unreal.

Someone should repost his comments without attribution, remix them without indicating as such, and/or use them for commercial purposes. Then we wait and see if he tries to enforce the license.

Oh, I need a new toque, mind getting me one?

 
 

My first attempt at making bagels, using Brian Lagerstrom's 1 hour bagel recipe. Can't recommend them enough.
