Finally, an app that understands my diction
Here’s a free tip. If you want to know a good time to go shopping at Costco, try the Wednesday following Boxing Day, during a snow storm, at supper time. No lineups! I agree, you will have to wait a whole year to see if it still applies. Imagine, no opportunity to buy far too much laundry detergent because the price seems right. A beau risque.
Yes, I now have enough liquid soap to do 185 loads… according to the label. I’m not going to do an audit. There’s also enough dishwasher powder to get through the winter, a collection of small batteries and an industrial quantity of jelly beans (45 different flavours). Again, no audit intended, but I’m watching for the one identified as Strawberry Shortcake, on principle.
I couldn’t help it. After my early morning effort to clear the accumulated snow from the driveway, I wasn’t going to waste the day. Yes, the snow has continued to fall, but we had the possibility of fleeing the scene of the crime (involved a turkey and sharp knives). I had bigger dreams, but the jelly beans will have to suffice. No justification found for a more substantial expenditure.
There’s now an app for the iEverything which allows you to test your pronunciation of big words. I tried “humunculous” and it found the meaning right away. Yes, a dictionary app for the verbally astute. My next challenge: try saying the words while using an accent of my choice. We’ll see how good the app really is, then. In a side note, the app correctly decoded “slippy”, which makes it ready for life on the Island.
