Tumult the first three letters pronounced like tummy instead of tumor. There is a middle ground ‘twomult’ which adherents of the ‘tummy’ version think is the British pronounciation. It joins many other butchered words like ‘aboot’ in Canada. Anybody else have a word that sets their teeth on edge?

A blessing in the skies, even.


If you've never watched Modern Family, i would recommend it, Moz.

Not trying to be argumentative, but Modern Family was a pretty average TV show.


Ed O'Neil wasn't nearly as funny as he was in Married With Children, the woke-pandering gay couple were annoying and the kids were all obnoxious.


The only decent characters were Gloria and Phil.
