I’ve only just discovered this show, and I love it immensely.
Their biggest radio hit was “Touch of Grey.”
Not just their biggest, it was their one and only top 40 hit. Kinda hard to believe when you consider the band’s extremely devoted following and longevity.
yes ! (well, i am)
They’d sound the same to me.
Do you have that accent where you pronounce a leading r (e.g., as in “route”) at the back of your mouth, so that it is somewhere between an ‘L’ and a ‘W’? I seem to recall that that particular accent is also the one in which “no” is a 3-syllable word.
I recently saw a Star Trek:TNG episode with Picard in the holodeck playing his favorite 1940s detective character. He and Riker are in a seedy bar and he introduces Riker to the holographic bartender: “This is Rex… Come to think of it, I don’t know your last name.”
And Rex smiles and says, “Hmm, I don’t think I have one.”
I love Sebastian. He adds just the right amount of spice to the fluffiness of S & H.
So, you’d have to have one spell out their name for you if you were righting it down?

Better than Crewman #6.
Guy Fleegman: I’m not even supposed to be here. I’m just “Crewman Number Six.” I’m expendable. I’m the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I’ve gotta get outta here.
I just realized that I pronounce “root” differently when it’s a noun than when it’s a verb.
A tree has roots (rhymes with boots), but I drink root (rhymes with put) beer.
As in, “the pig is rooting for mushrooms”?
I’d assume it was “steckler” 'cos it’s a more british spelling; but yes, i’d need to ask.
If I’m planning a route that takes me to Route 1 they are pronounced the same (sounds like root).
Football receivers run routes (rhymes with out).
I’ve been googling that. There are a LOT of different recommendations for how much teens need to eat. Obviously, it’s going to vary based on how large the teen is, how fast they are growing, how active they are, and probably their underlying metabolism, as well.
I feel like it’s a bad idea to restrict the calories a teen can eat unless they have a problem.
Heh, I’d never heard the name Steckler before, but I know people of Czech ancestry, so that’s where my mind went!
My brother must have eaten 4000 calories a day when he was a teen. He ate everything all the time. I can remember when he’d go through a pair of shoes in a couple of months. Total destructo.
Those are the same for me; they both have the short vowel. And root beer, at least originally, was made with tree roots. (Sassafras.)
But rooting for one’s team has more of an “o” sound. (As does the pig rooting for mushrooms.)
– OK, I tried repeating “root” out loud in a batch of sentences, and now I don’t even know what I do say when. Maybe it depends on the mood I’m in.
For a moment there I thought you meant that he ate the shoes!
Now that’s hungry!
LOL. Sometimes I wondered, too! He could eat a horse.
Gwen: We better get out of here before one of those things kills Guy.
Do “boot” and “put” really have the same vowel sound for you?
For me, they are distinctly different from each other. “Boot” has the same vowel sound as “toot” or “fruit” or “food”; “put” has the same vowel sound as “foot” or “good” or “hood.” (I pronounce “root” with the former vowel sound, but I’ve heard the latter often enough that it sounds like an acceptable alternative.)
