IKEA in North America pronounces it I-Key-Ah in their commercials. That's directly from the company itself. If they are OK with accepting the different pronunciation of their own name, then why am I expected to say it the European way? That goes for Suse and Asus as well, since they've been called Soos and Ace-sus for years before they decided to "correct" everyone.

Non-Anglophone countries are free to exist and are free to pronounce things however they want. I would be looked at as if I had two heads if I pronounced those things like those non-Anglophone countries. It's about not wanting to be treated like I'm a idiot just for pronouncing things the "proper" way.

I don't care. It's Soos. It's Ace-SUS, not Ah-soos. It's I-Key-Ah, not E-Kay-Ah. These are the way everyone around me says these things for as long as I can remember.

It's funny, but it's exactly what I thought when I first read it.

Crop it portrait to include what he's holding so that it can be photoshopped with something else.

Not that day, but everyday afterwards. Just in case.

Dude, you just described spaghetti au gratin, which was a diner staple back home growing up. Try it with chunks of Montreal smoked meat under cheese for a real treat.

Cold fresh baked lasagna, cut into servings, and reheated in the oven to get that melty crispy cheese on every side is one of the best things in the world. It's not an accident if the end result is better.

OK, that rat has much bigger problems than just the penis.

OK, I'm out of the loop on that one, and the curiosity is just too much for me...got a link?

That was more chaos winning than evil. Blowing up credit institutions and wiping everyone's debt is far from evil in most people's eyes.
