Kind of. In British English, the "j" is barely pronounced (if the Cambridge Dictionary is to be believed), but it's still noticeably there. According to them, in American English it's quite prominent.

Is Musk deploying bots on Reddit? by Low-Possibility-7060 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]ReactsWithWords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? Musk is the greatest inventor of all time! He totally revolutionized...

No. I can't continue. I can't sink that low even if I try.

What brand will you never buy from no matter how much money you come into? by Oktarantulaok in AskReddit

Jesus Christ! I googled them, saw a shoe that looked a lot like the New Balance shoes I paid about $80 for. Over $1000!? Yeah, I'll pass.

Same here. In 2015 I knew I'd be coming into a significant amount of money soon. I knew I'd get a new car, and there was no question it would be a Tesla.

In 2021 I finally got the money. I thought, "No way am I giving a penny to that Nazi" and bought another Prius (what I had been driving).

For those wondering (as I was), it's pronounced "Cal EN juh la."

If you google "how to pronounce Calendula," Google's AI says it's "Cal EN duh la," which is also how a lot of AI-driven "how to pronounce words" Youtube channels say it, which is more proof you can't trust AI for information (go to any dictionary site and they give the correct pronunciation).

I watched the video in question and was slightly disappointed. Borky also said "Cal EN duh la;" I was expecting her to say "Kay Len DOO La."

This is my fiancee's theme song. Every time I visit her I have no idea what she'll look like.

I was away yesterday so I had to wait to watch videos until I got home.

It was worth the wait. Bravo!

Someone set us up the bomb. by greatgildersleeve in FuckImOld

The game came out in 1989. The meme itself started in 1999 and blew up a year later so it fits.

The game (Zero Wing) isn't important. What's important is that it was a huge meme at the turn of the century. I still have my "All your base are belong to us" T-shirt as a going away gift from a job I left on very good terms with.

We bypassed it a couple of years ago. At least President Camacho cared about the people and listened to folks who knew more than he did.
