I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.
not its meaning, but its pronunciation. Segue. it should be pronounced ‘segg’ not ‘segway’ and nothing you can say or do will ever change my mind on this.
Being an Italian word, it’s pronounced seg-weh, so not far from segway
Segg makes 0 sense to me
I had to google the word tbh. My first instinct on reading segue was treating it like fugue, which ends on a hard g.
fugue, plague, vague, hell QUEUE doesn’t pronounce the ‘ue’ twice.
I could perhaps accept it being ‘segg-ew’ in the same vein as “venue”, “continue”, etc.
It IS pronounced “segg”.
“Segueway” is a separate word.
Edit: Nope, I’m completely wrong. On both counts. “Segueway” is a misspelling of “segue”, which IS pronounced “segg-whey” because it comes from Italian, not French..
