Re: The dream thread
Had a dream that a scientist revealed to me that the world was in danger, and that I was to go into space to be a part of a colony on Mars. The reasoning was a predicted increase in solar output and unexpected shift in the obliquity of the Earth. It should be about 23.4 degrees, but something knocke...

Re: Incorrect pronunciations you have (or have had) to unlea
I've never heard bourgeois with an /r/; I've only ever heard /'bu.ʒwa/. I grew up with a classmate whose last name was Bourgeois, and I bet that if not for that, I would have gone a long time mispronouncing bourgeoisie , which I originally thought was roughly "burgessy" but learned the proper pronu...

About the dinner: I think usually lunch here in Sweden is at around 12:00, and dinner at 5-6 PM. So 3 PM is not very usual; I don't know if they've had lunch already or not. In the original text the mom yells "maten är klar!" (the food is ready). I thought that this is unidiomatic in English, so I ...

I have Collin's Irish Dictionary, but it's "gem" size, very small text. No IPA or pronunciation keys upon a quick glance.
