Do you find it hard to stay afloat at times?
How do you deal with current events?

Are you a buoy or a gull?

Question for Americans on here.

How the holy fuck did the word buoy come to be pronounced "BOO-ee" in the US? The British pronunciation "BOY" as in the word buoyancy or buoyant (which both countries pronounce the same) seems to be pretty straight-forward,

So why in the name of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey do you fuckwits say Boo-ee

Are you a buoy or a gull?

I'd say both

For a nation that forgot how to say the letter R, I wouldn't be criticizing too much

Those who live in glass houses...

They have three different kinds of "R" over there, I daresay they know more about it than the average Murrikan.

The letter "T" however...
