1. I dislike how "ASAP" no longer means what it means. Or at least, it seems that way. I regularly edit my emails to remove usage of "ASAP" because it seems to indicate "do this right the fuck now," not "as soon as you can, I understand that you may be busy."

2. My new CEO mispronounces the folllowing words:

• nuclear (Nuke-yalur)
• COBOL (cobalt)
• ManuLife (Manual-Life)
• Acura (a-CURE-ah)

3. That is all.

haha, yeah. my dad was born in Maine and grew up in Mass, so it's sort of ingrained in him. I grew up in CT, so we speak correctly :) and even after living in boston for 7 years, I don't say any of those.

You live in Boston? And we've never met? ;-)

live-d :). I'm what I call "outside Seattle" now. But yeah, I lived there for 7 years. :) interestingly enough we have no boston LJ friends in common. I think that is a first in the history of the gay universe.

LOL! You know, it does happen de temps en temps...

What sent you away from our "beautiful" city and off to the opposite corner of the universe? A job, a fella, or both?

Shame you wouldn't be here for Pride next weekend... I'd have found a way to ask you out for a drink or something.

*sigh* oh, well... ;-)

Having lived in Maine, I can totally vouch for the fact that Mainers pronounce "idear". I giggled the whole time I was there.
