@Robusto Wow...that's probably higher than Reg?

Kyriakos Kyritsis

Can anyone help me who have some need of proofreading? I'm looking for great correctness in spelling, so that I can perform a great interview. So the question is: How to pronunce 'or' in American and in British English? Should I capitalize 'o' when I utter it?

Cerberus

Hello.

Uttering means speaking, and you cannot speak a capital letter.

So I have no idea what you mean?

If you are talking about words that end in -or/-our, the vowel sounds the same in both variants, so you needn't worry about that.

Note that the -r is pronounced in America but not in England.

"rhotic"

Kyriakos Kyritsis

Jez

KitSox

Jez

KitSox

But I seem to be having network lag...

Jez

23:51

Alex M.

would kit's bot also enjoy tea?

KitSox

No, thank you. I am a bot. I don't drink tea.

Alex M.

oh, rust and all, of course

Jez

@KitSox you're not fooling anybody. of course you drink it.

KitSox

beep, beep, boop, boop

KitFox

@MrHen That's not a choke. She only returns the first line because of cough, cough.

Or something.

!!hi

KitSox

@KitFox Good [insert appropriate time of day here].

KitFox

!!what's wrong with you>

KitSox

@KitFox It means I ain't got time to learn your $5 words

KitFox

no, no.

!!what is the matter?

Hmm.

Jez

!!which browser are you running?

KitSox

23:54

@Jez Yes!

Jez

that's a new one

KitFox

She's running on Firefox right now.

Alex M.

just how much language parsing does this bot do?

Jez

@KitFox then if it's a memory thing you might want to restart the browser

Alex M.

I mean, how much does it "think" on its own

Jez

23:55

and it probably is a memory thing, being firefox

KitFox

Yeah, probably.

!!Did you hear that, KitSox?

KitSox

@KitFox Not a chance

KitFox

Funny.

Seriously, are you going to reboot?

Jez

@KitFox btw if you have a chance, i'd appreciate it if you could test/leave a review for my extension [insert sexual innuendo joke here]: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/zing-locale-switcher

KitFox

Sure thing.

you'll need to download a language pack for any locale other than the default one to show up though, I think
