Last game. Really.

1284. I hereby retire. Time to get a life.

Famous last words: "Last game."

Follow up to last post about the latest time waster...

Words that they mispronounced and screwed up my game:

What they wanted v. What they said
Grooming v. Gruelling
Skein v. Skane (OK, I admit I have no idea what that is)
Contemptuous v. Contentious
Bouncy v. Fancy (not kidding!)
Court v. Chord

Stupid British accents!

After a particularly frustrating British-accent-sabotaged game, my score was 666. How apropos. (Pronounce THAT, you British #&#$ers....it's FRENCH.)

All you other poor suckers who have fallen victim to the British accent, post your agonies here.

[Addendum: Right after I posted this I went and played again. And they wanted me to spell "apropos", but they pronounced it "AHP-pro-po" instead of "Ah-PRO-PO"! Then I died when they wanted me to spell "floor" but pronounced it "flaw". Stupid British accents!!!!]
