are we doing the correct pronunciations?

"lingerie isn't pronounced the way we think it is at all

It's not 'lon-je-ree' or 'lon-je-rey'. It's lan-jree"

though prashant wasn't very amused with my revelation of this new find of mine. this brings me to what i am reading these days: 'a year in merde' by stephen clarke.

this brings me to the reaction of a friend of mine which went somewhat like, 'the book is nice read but it seems that the writer is obsessed with sex...' which brings me to the veil of hypocrisy that females don't seems to do away with. i am pretty sure that this friend would have totally enjoyed all the references to nudity or his accounts of shagging. and mind you, i have been through three fourths of the book and i have not found one instance where the author has described his carnal acts in an erotic fashion. i mean, all his elucidations have been funny and double-worded. it seems that they seem to dislike it [in public] no matter what veil you try to wrap it under. they won't be frank [true] with you and they would experience a sense of utter contentment over the fact that they have been conferred with the title of mother mary the third the moment you drop your decision of arguing to save yourself from the uneasiness of fretting as the result of the bout of [foreseen and unseen] irritation.

but the point is that there is no point pondering over this issue because females will be females and their hypocrisy at best could be vanity.

but this novel is a funny read nonetheless.
