I just learned Elvis got a twelve-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. I am going to this movie.

Sometimes?

I'm willing to postulate there could be one who could resist doing so...

Dang. When those lurkers flame out, they really flame out, don't they?

I've always heard "fuh" to rhyme with "uh", rather than "fah" to rhyme with "ha".

Though TBF, I don't have a lot of Vietnamese-speaking friends, so I'm getting it at least second-hand. Unless I've heard a Vietnamese-speaker pronounce it on Youtube, maybe? Or I'm forgetting an older interaction. That's also possible.

My Vietnamese friends pronounce it fuh UH- there's definitely two syllables there, with the "uh" sounding like the "u" in "but". There's almost a glottal stop between the two "uh" sounds with a definite stress on the second one. First time I heard it, I didn't even connect the pronunciation to the spelling.

Now I've got "Police On My Back" running through my head. Clash version, not The Equals version.

"What have I done...."

And they're always so effective.
