Thank you! Guess I’ll just stick to ancient pronunciations on these topics.

Since we’re on the topic there’s this historical word that I haven’t heard pronounced in English, Alexander the Great had a bunch of generals that were called the Diadochi, I haven’t seen this term pronounced in English, but recently I’ve taken into account the way English speakers pronounce words and I was wondering if the way I’m pronouncing it in English is correct or if I am just wrong.

I’ve been pronouncing it in an English context as: “Die-a-Dough-key” I’m no linguist so I’m not sure how to write pronunciations sorry if it looks dumb.

Man this Olympics have been extremely disappointing on these aspects, for me personally I began to tune out during the initial ceremony when they started to pull the whole minions scene they did. It just feels like either a cash grab or a corporate scam.

I remember reading or listening to a short story where the author described what would’ve happened if Elrond had pushed Isildur into the fire in order to destroy the ring. If I remember correctly Elrond emerges from mount doom and eventually communicates what happened at the peak and his action of killing Isildur in order to destroy the ring, this ends up angering the humans who would later start a war with the elves in order to avenge the death of Isildur. This leads to massive casualties on both the human and elven side but the war abruptly stops as a massive rain suddenly appears and lasts for many many days, flooding the world and destroying it. Finally, it is revealed that the rain was caused by the tears of Illuvatar being shed over the terrible slaying of his children amongst themselves.

Damn, looking at the comments here I realize sometimes I DO have more knowledge on some topics than other people. If you guys don’t know that’s a bronze sword, bronze is a metal that’s well known due to its corruption-resistant properties. When bronze develops that green patina you see on the sword it also creates a sort of protective layer that shields the rest of the metal from oxygen and prevents it from rusting away.

Quick note meant to say corrosion not corruption lmao.

God damn, I’ll be thinking about Shiri’s Scissors for a while now.
