Hello you all over the world.
Lent has just begun... so it is time to rethink about our lives...
Catholics all around the globe start fasting for the following 40 days. I am just one amongst so many...
Time to pray!
Talking about English...
Today, I decided to post a very interesting video which is about differences between the Northern and the Southern American pronunciation... in a song!
There's a question: In which way do you pronounce "either" and "neither"?
"Let's call the whole thing off"
by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstring
Lyrics:
Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,
Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:
Chorus 1:
You say either and I say either, You say neither and I say neither
Either, either Neither, neither, Let's call the whole thing off.
You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas, I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we , Better call the whole off, off
Oh, let's call the whole thing off.
Chorus 2:
You say laughter and I say larfter, You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter, Let's call the whole thing off
You like vanilla and I like vanella, You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry, Let's call the whole thing off
But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters, I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters
For we know we need each other so we, Better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off.
