Some people just aren't as grammatically savvy as others. I really can't diss them, it's not their fault, just keep keeping it real. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I was told Bianchi is pronounced Be-ahn-key.

Actually, if my comprehension isn't failing, I'd say he was just correcting the other guy for using the word "queer", as in "don't say 'queer', just say 'lame'."

At least that's what I got from the post.

How were you saying it?

PedallingATX 10-08-10 03:51 PM

James1:17 10-08-10 03:53 PM

PedallingATX 10-08-10 04:00 PM

Ohhh, I misinterpreted your post. You see I thought you were saying that queer meant lame, and that mixtes are lame. I am sorry for calling you an idiot I apologize, however, I disagree with your statement about mixtes sucking.

And James1:17, yes it does mean odd or weird, but not lame.

Well formed statement. Succinct, and everything is spelled correctly and easily pronounced.

also, ultra ga

Just in case some out there are taking this thread seriously, here's how natives would pronounce them.

Dura-Ace is pronounced du ra ace. Note, this is different from "do ra," but the difference might be too subtle for most Americans to hear. Also, the "a" in "ace" is drawn out longer. Not as long as Fonzie's "eeeeeeh!", but not as crisp as an American would say "ace" either.

Ultegra is also pronounced close to how an American would naturally say it, except without the emphasis on the second syllable (i.e. not "ulTEgra"), and since there is no "uh" sound in Japanese, the first sound is an "ah" sound not an "uh" sound. So it's more like ahr-tay-gura.

Selle is pronounced Sell-E

I didn't think there was any boyfriend a girl's father could hate more than the one who has a motorcycle. But the one who builds his daughter a brakeless bicycle is it!
