[Cainad (dec.)]

Fucking figures that I missed this entirely

I've only got a month and change! What to do, what to do.

[Epimetheus]

Shit. I slacked off in this - forgot. OK, PEOPLE, YOU ARE BECOMING ERISIAN WARRIORS WHETHER YUO LIKE IT OR NOT!

Coyote disagrees.

Coyote disagrees.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT DAMN COYOTE! Which by the way, is pronounced Kye-oat.

I learned that from a Robin Williams-narrated Pecos Bill story on CD which I listened to as a child way too often for any lad's health.

Something amazing happened in this thread while I wasn't paying attention.

[Cuddlefish]

I think I snagged one today. Good kid from my modern lit. class who wrote a decent piece on TSA for the campus paper. We'll see if it pans out.

Yeah, we actually do pronounce it kye-oat-ee. I was make joke.

[Suu]

I know...And both pronunciations are correct. I just feel weird saying "Kye-oat", and it seems more prevalent here in the North than it did down yonder.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I think I was 16 before I knew you pronounced the e. Damn Northwesterners.

[Jasper]

Reading those last few posts made me realize how similar Coyote and Quixote can sound.

Hm.

[hooplala]

This could be complete fiction, but I seem to recall reading or hearing somewhere that the "Kai-oat" pronunciation dominated until the Wile E. Coyote cartoons became popular.

[hooplala]

Not that Wikipedia is the last word on any subject, but it does back up my story, which I had suddenly feared I had made up whole cloth:

By far the best known representation is the animated Wile E. Coyote, whose popularity has spread the three-syllable Spanish pronunciation of the word coyote throughout English-speaking North America.

Meh. I still say Kai-oat most of the time.


I really need to get on this. I have about three-ish weeks between finals and the new semester, which is also during Christmas. Gonna get on that Wal Mart troll.

I've managed to convert a friend of mine to the Church of the Subgenius. I've recently gotten a job, and see a potential avenue for recruitment there too. Regardless, I'll try to talk my current convert into spreading the good word. I don't think he'll take issue with it.
