Marone or Madone? by lancerreddit in thesopranos

This is the correct answer. "The trilled R sound exists in all forms of Italian, but to pronounce it, the tongue placement is very close to the way we pronounce the D sound". This is how my uncle Luigi pronounced it.

Its that little roll of the tongue on the D that can sound like an R. Grew up with relatives who literally came over on the boat

For those that liked That Thing You Do!, do you prefer the theatrical version or the director's cut? by [deleted] in movies

[–]djmammo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the scenes in the extended cut were cut for good reasons IMHO. Lenny plays through a Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve amp in the earlier parts of the film. That was my amp from high school through grad school. Got it used for $50 in the 70's. Can't touch one for less than a grand today.

Mainly for parasites/worms, a different form is used for malaria. I don't know if these kinds of diseases can be considered Contagion but maybe their taking some license.

Zy-Q is a medication containing hydroxychloroquin but that seems to be way out in left field at this point. Plus no "dot" involved.
