This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

At this point I realize I've most likely ever only come across the mispronounced version...
Isn't the dictionary out of date then?
Sure is. Someone should tell Meriam.
If they don't listen, time to escalate to Webster.
The British seem very happy with keeping the "-tre" ending but pronouncing it "-ter" for centuries.
Not surprising, I think they even mispronounced it in an episode of Futurama. Just a shame because the proper way sounds so much better.
