Ringo celebrates birthday with 'Peace' salute - Yahoo! News

I did not know today was Ringo's birthday?! Then again I am not a Beatles fan.

Well since I am not a Beatles follower, I have absolutely no frickin' idea who Richard Starkey is, now do I?

 

[Calleja]

Google is your friend.


(It's Ringo's real name)

If google were my friend, it would have said: "Wait, wait, you're googling that? Do you remember the time you googled tubgirl?" instead, Google just directed me to the 2g1cup video.

I didnt eat for days

 

[Dave]

I had no idea who it was either and I didn't care enough to google it.

 

[Philosopher B.]

I thought everybody knew who Richard Starkey was. Oh wells. I hope he has a good time.

Willful ignorance is the best

 

[sixpackshaker]

I am glad that the last living Beatle lived to see 70.

 

[Calleja]

....you're kidding, right?


He's kidding, right!?

 

[sixpackshaker]

kidding, come on, I make this joke about once a month...

[makare]

can we all just agree to call Calleja Cally. That would be nice.

 

[Calleja]

But there's a Calli around, isn't there?

 

[makare]

Cally not Calli

 

[Calleja]

Aren't they pronounced the same?

 

[Silver Jelly]

"Ringo" has always made me think of this italian cookie I knew about before I knew who the beatles were. The american sports and looking actors and the kinda racist signature high five seem to be staples of their ads, check some out!

 

[Tinwhistler]

Aren't they pronounced the same?

Cally: \kä-ˈyē\

Calli: \ˈkä-lē\


You of all people should know better....:tsk:

 

[Calleja]

Those symbols are like gibberish to me...

 

[makare]

I dont read the forums out loud so the phonetic sound doesnt really matter....

 

[Calleja]

But... everything you read is "read out loud" phonetically in your head, isn't it!?

That's how it is for me anyway :/

 

[makare]

Hmm no....

 

[Calleja]

I can't read something I don't know how to pronounce without instantly researching how to pronounce it so I can continue reading...

 

[Cajungal]

Me too. It just happens. Can't control it. I have to know how to pronounce something to proceed.

 

[Calleja]

Do you read mine with an accent? :biggrin:

 

[Shakey]

Even if they sound the same in your head you can still see the spelling difference in front of you, so you should be able to tell them apart.

 

[makare]

I guess I dont often come across things I don't know how to pronounce, but still it doesnt affect my reading it. I guess it is just a different way of processing what you read.
