The real question is, why the hell do Brits pronounce lieutenant with an "f" sound? It makes no sense...
I think you mean, "why the hell do Muricans pronounce it 'loo-tenant'?"

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Guys guys guys, it doesn't really matter whether you spell color with a "u" or not. It's pronounced the same way anyway.

The real question is, why the hell do Brits pronounce lieutenant with an "f" sound? It makes no sense...

Pronunciation with lef- is common in Britain, and spellings to reflect it date back to 14c., but the origin of this is a mystery (OED rejects suggestion that it comes from old confusion of -u- and -v-).
It does sound nicer though so I'm happy enough to let it stay.

You ask and answer your question in the same breath, siru.

Someone has to keep fucking with non-native speakers, after all.

I need to start keeping a folder for cute 40k stuff :P

Anyway, if Toady hasn't locked this thread for the contents of the OP then he isn't gonna start now.
Thought this was the happy thread for a moment, but my point still stands.

Also the "How to into inquisition" book looks way too long. All it needs is a single line reading "Heresy? *BLAM!*"

Oh, I don't give a rat's ass. But I'm not everyone, and there's always some negative nancy who wants the internet to be a no fun zone.  :P
