Stupid stupid stupid!!!

Why the heck did I keep thinking that TTT Extended is coming out in December, when it was already out mid-November?!?!?! Instead of ordering it today off amazon.co.uk, I could've watched it half a month ago!!! Arghhhh!!! >_<

Oh well. *sigh* A random question. How do you pronounce "because"? Today I've heard "be-cuss", "be-cuts", "be-calls", "be-cords","be-cause", so many different versions. English's such a funny language.

be-cause.
be-cuz.

more formal, and the speedy one =D

I always say it be-cause... all other versions sound wrong when I say them ^^

[pyroh.livejournal.com]

I almost always pronounce it 'be-cuz', unless I'm being conscious about how I am speaking, then I say 'be-cause'. I've also heard a few of the other ways you've listed. Maybe it just depends on what accent you have...

By the way, your icon amuses me to no end. ^^ Love it.

It's kind of sad, because I grin every time I look at it myself...

I love your Schu & Brad icon too! Did you colour the pic yourself? It looks really good. ^^

Thank you ^^ A friend of mine played with the lighting, but I colored it myself. It took forever to do and I have no idea what happened to the colored version before I made it an icon. ._.

Here's one pronounciation. But that's Middle American, with its wide vowels. I think it sounds a bit different in the Queen's English.

And OT: I really really really liked your doujinshi. Wasn't too sappy at all. And that pic of Schu bending over Crawford (page 4?) was simply gorgeous. Thank you so much. :D

Now that's yet another pronounciation I haven't heard of...

Thanks! I dunno, I think it's really sappy... probably because it's very different from all the other things I write or draw. I'm usually the "keep it subtle" type, don't know what made me draw that in the first place! ^^ Glad you liked it :))))

*says it aloud* hm, apparently i say it "becuz" but that's canadian english i guess O.o;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I've heard that too, but I don't think the speaker was Canadian... perhaps people just all say it differently? O_o" I'm quite stuck to "because" since that's how I was taught to say it, and English was really *taught* in Hong Kong. ^^"
