Similarities

[diello]

I hate the way pronouncing something slightly different makes a word completely different. I mean, sure, I don't want a load of sand in my after-dinner snack or be stranded on a giant banana cream pie, but it really makes learning languages difficult.

However, I found this difference quite funny:

囚人 "shuujin" means prisoner.
BUT…
主人 "shujin" means husband.

An obvious difference in spelling, but not pronunciation, whereas in English, the spelling of desert and dessert, as well as pronunciation, are not far off.

A) I wondered the same thing. And I probably won't go anyway.
C) You can if you wish.
D) It's a trick question, or as Admiral Akbar would say, "It's a trap!"

Hm, It's begining to sound like none of us are going. Eliza and I exchanged a few emails, and I'm getting the imprestion there is little ethusasum for Wicked in the operable parts of Shavora right now. Oh well, I shouldn't be spending the money anyway. Maybe I'll see you agin some other time.

Well, my biggest reason to go is to see Voltaire, and I will be seeing him next week, so I'm good for the year ;)
We'll all see each other again someday.
