Yeah we generally say "an-ees-thetist". And here burglars burgle houses. They can't be bothered to burglarise. I love the word burgle. It sounds like the burp you make after eating a burger too fast.

I’ve been an Anglo-phile for ages. People in the know often call me out for calling something ‘proper’; “proper weather,” a “proper pint,” etc. The one thing that always makes me laugh, though, is saying something is “in” a street (like “…in Denmark Street.”)

I have been watching some older seasons of Taskmaster on You Tube and appreciating the different pronunciations for many words. Of course it helps that I find the shows to be really funny too.

Yes words like Al U Mini um we call alum un um

Edit Or as mom would say "Tin Foil"

Taskmaster has also taught me the term Loo Rolls.

I picked up a variation on the "Mutt's nuts" from a British friend he says the "Dogs Danglies"

Have you been partying again?

Wha...? Who...Me?

What do you mean:
"Again"?

also --- in the states the "nest" part is pronounced like a bird nest. I think at least in England that part is pronounced with a long E sound.

I would've thought it would be pronounced "th" like in "teeth". "A Nestea-all-o-jist" sounds weird.


I think in Canada it's "Anesthetist" as well. I'd ask my brother, he's a nurse and should know, but ... it's 3am there and his shift ended at 11pm.

So since we're yabbering (yammering?) about language, I have a question:
Does anybody here know approximately when "disembark" from an aircraft became "de-plane"?

It's a few decades ago at least, I think. I vaguely recall when I first heard a flight-attendent announcement with "de-plane", I thought "Thas th' stoopedist ting Oye evah hoid!"

It's been a while since I did a cruise-ship gig, but when you disembark, ehhh sorry... when you leave — do you "de-ship", "de-boat" or "de-float?"

Excuse me, I have to de-house and drive to the local shop where I will then de-car... I'm still short a couple oddball bits for a build, so I guess you could say I'm de-parting.

 

[HamishR]

Agreed. De-plane is stupid.

Is there an existing drill template (Duocast minus the toggle switch?) that lines up to this one yet? I’d like to hopefully get a head start on designing the graphics for this one so I can get the enclosure ready when I do some Tayda UV prints soon

I’m so excited about this one! Are the trim pots for biasing?

Two of them are for treble and bass. Not sure about the third one, but I think it's related to the boost

The footswitch / LED spacing is slightly different.
I have a template worked up but I need to make sure everything fits properly before posting it.

Treble, Bass, and Boost Gain.
