05.08.2025 15:28 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The sadly-no-longer-correct pronunciation was DOO-ur. It's not as if pour is pronounced like sour, in this dumb nonsense language, but everyone expected dour to be
05.08.2025 15:24 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0"If the opposite of respective is irrespective, then the opposite of regardless must be irregardless!" is math that needs double-checking
05.08.2025 14:57 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Use a wrong word often enough, eventually it ends up in the dictionary, but it doesn't mean I have to obey in advance! I've already conceded the pronunciation of "dour" but I'm still fighting the "should have went" conjugation war

"grudge" is a nounβto bear a grudge
"grudging" is an adjectiveβa grudging respect
"grudgingly" is an adverbβshe did it grudgingly
"begrudge" is a verbβand I can't begrudge her that
Not interchangeable. There's no such word as "begrudgingly"

Giancarlo Giannini now with a mustache a few years later in The Black Belly of the Tarantula (1971), maybe now you suspect you almost recognize him
Giancarlo Giannini in Man on Fire (2004), now a rumpled middle-aged man with a mustache in a pea-green suit holding a Corona and you're like, oh yeah, that guy
Giancarlo Giannini just two years later with distinguished gray hair and a gray goatee standing next to Daniel Craig in Casino Royale (2006), see, you do know who he is

*Lake Yellowwood Slaughterβ¦but somehow you've accidentally hit on the original title.
IMO it really benefits enormously from the page-turns in print, but do what you gotta do!
That first panel always made me believe Quitely was watching wrestling. That's a shot from a handheld camera at ringside is what that is
