The Death of A Universe

ninthwave writes "The Guardian is running an article on research into the visible effects of entropy in the Universe. Alan Heavens of The University of Edinburgh did the research also posted at The Royal Astronomical Society with this article" I dunno - expansion, heat death - it all reminds me of a teacher who said "I'm not a premillenialist, postmillenialist - I'm a pan-millenialist, as in it's all going to pan out in the end."

    You're pronouncing it wrong. It is un-iverse, not youniverse.

    "And if you look to your left ladies and gentleman, you'll see the rare 'flamebait-marked-as-funny'. These things were once a rarity, nearly hunted to extinction by competent meta-moderators, who captured and all but wiped out Hot Grits, Natalie Portman, and Fr1st p0st3rz. But now their numbers have grown, so now they are quickly eliminating all the use of surfing at +5. One day, scientists predict you'll need specialized flame filters, much like we use spam filters today."

    "An historic" always grates on my ears too. At least when Americans say it.

    It sounds ok when it comes from British people though, because they don't pronounce the "H" sound.

    So while Americans should say "a historic", Brits can say "an 'istoric"... as in "Blimey, what an 'istoric event! Fancy a shag, guvnor?"

    In some old dialects "an hundred" etc was fully correct (compare the KJV Bible.)
