“BIO-pick” or “BYOpic” (like “myopic”)?

Comments

First one, definitely. I mean, it's just a contraction of BIOgraphical PICture isn't it?

citizenkate.satan.social•38 days ago

Oh yeah. Unarguable. It just sounds stupid. (IMO)

First.

First. No question.

I know it should be the first, but I can't help reading it as the second every time I see it.

sdrebit.bsky.social•38 days ago

Oh the first

Meh. Being prescriptive about this is dumb. Either is fine. There are good arguments for both. I’m usually in camp 1, but camp 2 is perfectly reasonable. It’s not a REALLY important distinction, like gif vs jif.

Questions you ask when you tend to encounter things first in print

The first one.

Continuity is like that for me. For the longest time I thought it was continue-eetee

Weird!

My mother (a lifelong librarian and avid reader) has trouble figuring out how to pronounce things like “AirBnb” (understandable?) and “robot” (that one’s got me baffled)

I was so relieved when I found out how to pronounce the band name Quasi (is it qwaz-ee or qwaz-eye?) by asking someone from Portland.

citizenkate.satan.social•38 days ago

Which is it?

mondosalvo.com•38 days ago

qwaz-ee

First, please and thank you.
