While we're on the subject who the fuck decided lingerie should be pronounced lawn-jer-ay? Petition to stop letting the French decide how words are spelled because if I have to try to correctly spell burgiouisey one more time I'm going to flip.

I gave up and have started to just opt for calling them bourge. Can't pronounce it either.

Not trying to troll or creep. I didn’t realize what instance I was on at first. But I read your spelling and my head immediately jumped to the Borgs from Star Trek. Got a solid cackle from me. It’s been a long disappointing day so genuinely, thank you for my laughter. I’ve seen too much RISA maybe. Have a great one

Come for the misinterpretation, stay for the cozy love of our comrades and desire to improve the world
