[Bool] Yup; I usually spell it out as Kwucks-um, or even K????-?m.

Yes, how is Tuj pronounced? Tudge? or as in French "touge"?

"Tuy". That or "Mangrove-Stoat Frog Warbler" depending on where one is pronouncing "Tuj".

Unpronounceable in this solar system, I have always thought, existing only as a symbolic representation in ASCII of a different existence. 19451⁶⁶⁵⁹⁰+22⁵⁵⁴-171, if your Gödelising is up to it.

Alas, your instantaneous translator is on the blink. "Bismarck" is easily pronounceable in almost every language on Earth.

Been tweaking. Hopefully nothing broken...

Rhymes with "smudge" in my head, but YMMV. On this line, there aren't any truly unpronounceables among us, a la Drewsxpa, at present are there?

[rab] You'll ruin your teeth.

[Tuj] But what would you know.

Mornin' all. Comment ally voos?

Trebonski, as my Dad would have said. Bilingual but French wasn't one of 'em.

Our taiko group played for a friend's wedding yesterday. At the party afterwards, that is, not the ceremony itself. The bride is one of the group, so she was playing with us, with a shoulder-slung drum over her full white wedding rig. Later today I expect to be very happy when the restoration of my Mac from backup completes (touch wood). The disc failed last weekend and I've been poking at the Internet through a variety of letterboxes since. Or maybe I shall be happy in a couple of days. It has just announced, "About 37 hours and 2 minutes remaining."

Happiness is restored, along with the backup.
