Just because you can’t counter my arguments in the Pronunciation thread is no reason to go crying to a moderator. Piece of shit.
Uses the Cambridge dictionary then cries when I do the same.

Wolfpup was not who flagged your post.

If wolfpup didn’t have a problem with it, why was it an issue?

You’re arguing moderation outside of ATMB. We don’t allow that. I’d stop now, if I were you.

I flagged it, because you were being an argumentative asshole, and were clearly spoiling for a fight.

Sorry buddy, I tried.
I’d start a thread but I don’t feel like it right now.

Inna prefers her dirty martini’s with gin. Of course, being from Russia she doesn’t have a great opinion of our vodkas (even the ones imported from Russia).

Here is the original thread.
> [@Who decides “proper” pronunciation?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-decides-proper-pronunciation/1019111):

> There definitely seems to be two camps on the issue. “Xxxxx” is properly pronounced “xxxxXxx” based on historical, linguistics, or other factual parameters. “Xxxxx” is pronounced “Xxxhxx” by 99% of people, so that’s the “proper” pronunciation. I hope this qualifies for great debates. Creating new topics isn’t my forte.
And the ATMB thread that didn’t quite go well for the OP.

You can keep your oral rewards to yourself, thank you for the offer though.

The moderator told me to start a bbq pit thread

Yeah, but attacking mods isn’t usually accepted there. Or anywhere. We’re expected to treat them with respect, even when we disagree with them or question their moderation (especially when we do). It’s also not the place to rehash an argument from a previous thread, as you brought up “forte” again for no reason.
You should know better from your experience posting from previous accounts.

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce forte as fort, and if I did, I’d laugh at them (politely.) Is that really a thing?

Temporarily suspended. Hope Wolfpup can get here and bask in the glory of his own Pit thread before this is closed.
Not that I’m bitter or anything.
