That occurred to me while writing my comment, as well, and I don’t like the implications.
I would imagine they have to ask you, yes. If the toilet can be flushed without authentication, they’d probably still have to ask you how.
I have no interest in one, but playing devil’s advocate, some might consider it more sanitary since you don’t have to touch the toilet to flush and have the choice of not being near it, hopefully avoiding any spray.
Also, if your guests use the restroom, you can startle them at any time.
It’s still so interesting noticing comments from you, as I used to be frustrated by the bubble letters in your name. Since my client started suppressing that, I find you often contribute to conversations and I appreciate it.
I tried to express this once before, but at that point my client was still somewhat immature and randomly put my comment in a different, irrelevant thread.
Anyway, thanks for being a classic and long lasting part of lemmy and for showing up in my thread! I’m glad it provided you with some enlightenment.
From now on, I shall only refer to them as kentauru.
Well, apparently my answer (“sen-chwar”) is also very incorrect. Someone else in this thread also answered “sen-a-tar.” I would argue both beat yours for incorrectness, as they don’t fit the spelling.
I thought mine was based on something French, based on almost nothing, but another person in the thread has corrected that theory.
Rude.
But I’m glad I could add some levity to your day! I can often make my wife chortle, but when I can make her laugh incredibly hard it’s a good day.
Well, it seems not a single other person agrees with me on my choice of pronunciation, but it’s nice to not be the only one whose answer isn’t based on the spelling!
Thank you for the answer.
You’re not wrong.
I am no longer in Maryland, but yes, I spent most of my life within an hour of Baltimore. I was indeed an avid reader, so it’s possible that I made my own decision about its pronunciation (that has certainly happened with other words), but I think I got this one from hearing my mom say it. I can’t prove that, though.
Maryland. Maybe it’s regional, like you said. However, I was sheltered growing up, so maybe not.
Sorry, I’m not sure how to explain. It’s the only way I’ve ever heard it said.
Honestly, I’m afraid to say. No one will support me, it seems.
Sen-chwar.
So far, the main way I haven’t seen suggested.
I guess I owe my wife an apology.
I thought this question would get almost no attention, but so far I’ve gotten almost one response per minute. Well predicted.
Solid.
That’s one of my wife’s answers.
You’re very prompt.
What do you call the study of giant sentient trees?
Both relatable and understandable. Thank you for the answer!
