@BeccaLou, to type in color, first highlight your post and then click on the arrow next to the underscored "A" above and choose the color of your choice. You can choose your entire post, or specific words, depending on what you highlight.

Re: Anyone watching Jeopardy right now?

For what it is worth, I was born and bred on Long Island and I pronounce sherbert the same way as Austin. New Yorkers do not pronounce their "r'" in many words.

 

I thought he should have won that.

Socially awkward? I find him the opposite. He's comfortable to be himself, interacts with the other contestants, has friends. I'm wondering that some on this BB are living an insular life knowing only those like themselves.


 

Being socially awkward can manifest in different ways, but one way is, basically perceived as having odd behavior.  It doesn't mean you have no friends. 

 

One example that comes to mind is Michael Jackson.  He was a dynamic performer on stage, but off stage,  IRL, he was rather shy.  Nevertheless, he had friends.

Has no one ever noticed the spelling of sherbet when grocery shopping?

we know the correct spelling!!!  What we are talking about is the pronunciation(s). Many of us pronounce it like Austin despite its spelling without the "r".  The variant pronunciation is recognized.

I guess I'm in the minority here. I don't like him at all. Smug, arrogant, and he tries to be "cute" which is a major turn off for me. Just play the game. He is very smart, I'll give him that for sure.


Yes, I agree with you,  his "Cute" is very annoying to me...it's like he is saying,  I will win, because I am the smartest.....and yes I think his hair looks like a wig.....glad when he is gone......

Well, maybe you do, but apparently not everyone does.
