According to the American Heritage Dictionary the main pronunciation is "Kewl-inary" with my "Cull-inary" as a secondary pronunciation. So we were both right but mom was more right than I was. This pleased her. I pride myself on wordage, but this is the same girl who thinks Haute Cuisine is spicy food. Get it? Did I even spell that right? I hate the French. Just kidding. Love you guys. Smooch.

Cull-inary. Definately cull-inary. In years of watching Food Network I have not heard anyone say kewl-inary. Must be some stuffy British pronunciation :)

Oh honey, I KNOW! Mine is on the brink! I can't "watch" TV at night without being online (unless I'm in bed early and I just don't give a shit). I need to find my warranty receipts (if still valid!) and toss AOL out the window once and for all. These are the times when I long for my old computer geek boyfriend! Although he'd spy on everything I ever did while he was "busy making updates" on my PC. I couldn't have any secrets. Fucking dick! (He was cute though!) But if I ever tried to check my email on HIS system, it was passworded and locked out the ass and he would hover around me after he logged me on. Bastard. Cheating bastard, I'm pretty sure (near the end). But still, he could fix stuff. Grass is always greener.

"cull-in-ary" for sure. The only time I've heard it the other way is during a Food Network special competition where the announcer tries to sound all fancy. And I can't watch TV without my laptop on next to me just in case. I know how you feel, girl.

It's hideous how much I utilize Google. "What's that mean?" someone may ask, and I'm hopping over to the computer to Dictionary.com or Google... hell, we even had an argument about whether or not penguins had knees, and I Googled it. (Yes, penguins do have knees. They're just so far up in their body cavity that they're useless.)

I'm going to have to hop on the "cull-inary" bandwagon. But that might just be my aversion to the letters "kewl" together; I've never liked it that people picked it up as an alternative for "cool." It doesn't even save you any keyboard strokes! Jackasses. Halo Askew, do dump AOL. It won't be that hard. Find a local ISP and make them help you get it set up. AOL not only sucks, but they're working on taking payment to allow businesses priority placement in your inbox. Anything is better than AOL.

Cull, all the way. Right-thinking Americans agree. By the way, I dig the redesign.
