I've given up on trying to persuade Americans that the act of filleting a fish -- or indeed a fillet of fish -- is pronounced "fillit" and not "fillay"
I was puzzled that we could all be so wrong on such a simple word, so I hightailed it over to both Dictionary.com and Websters for the scoop. It seems both versions are correct. Thought you'd like to know! |

sorry, but neil does not read these board.
you can send your comments to him here, the fqa on neilgaiman.com but please feel free to stay, browes, enter the worlds end and join in the conversations going on there, new members are always welcome, often with red ballons and llamas. ~ You are an Accomptant. You keep track of the King's accounts, which is a fairly simplish job: his current holdings is always A LOT, and his expected revenue is always MORE. 'Sgood ta be da King. As long as there isn't a peasant uprising, you're likely to keep your head. Also, you're the only one in the office who knows how to use an abbacus. (Or multiply.) (Or add.) I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. |

Thanks! I don't know why I couldn't find that page before. I searched and searched for it. Finally, I just assumed that, well...I made the wrong assumption, didn't I?
Actually, I will probably stay on these forums as I am new to Neil's work and I'm very excited about all of it. It's wonderful to have a resource like this, eh? PS - I love Cowboy Bebop and Radical Edward too. Bebop is one of my deserted Island necessities. |

Welcome! If you go on over to the World's End page here and introduce yourself, the good folk heareabout will greet you effusively, with red balloons and other nifty stuff. - Cho _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You are a Confectioner. Who can take a sunrise and sprinkle it with dew? Actually, that's Bob The Enchanter, two doors down on the left. But you make delectable treats, which is no simple feat considering Oompa Loompas won't be invented for three centuries. Not only do you delight with your sweets, but you've paved the way for a new profession: dentistry! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the blog thing: From an Ayewards World ... |
