I was wondering about how Latinx was pronounced as well, and it just so happens that I'm watching a Vice channel movie called "HIV:  The Neglected Pandemic", and one of the people interviewed was Javier Muñoz from "Hamilton".  He was talking about being Latinx and he pronounced it as "Lateenex"

That's "Lateenex," to rhyme with (sorry!) Kleenex?

That's good news! I've been pronouncing it LA-tin-əx, with a kind of mumbled schwa in the last syllable. A bit awkward. Pronouncing it La-TEEN-ex is more graceful, and since Latino/a stress the second syllable, it makes sense that Latinx would, too.

Yes, it rhymes with "Kleenex".........Latin is pronounced "Lah-tin", but a male is La TEEN oh, and a female is La TEEN ah, so it's La TEEN ex

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!




Ok, so when's the next 3-day holiday weekend?

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:


We've got time for that, so let's stay in the present.  How is everyone doing now?

Work is still busy, but I'm chugging along, thankfully. 

I had a dentist appointment today for my 6 month cleaning.  They found a small cavity that I have to get taken care of next week.  Other than that, no major issues with the teeth.

The heat is starting to work my nerves, and summer hasn't even begun yet!   :laugh:  Thank God for central air!

Will be at mom and dad's place for father's day on the 20th.  Mom has ordered a bunch of food, and we'll have about 11 people there for lunch.  Will be good to see everyone again.  :)

Wait. I missed this. There is an entire channel devoted to Vice?  :o

This post reminded me to check what day July 4 is on this year. It's on a Sunday! Yay!

hat's about perfect, as far as I'm concerned. I work Saturdays, so I wouldn't want it on that day. If it's on Sunday we'll get Monday off. And since that's usually my weekend, I can either take Tuesday off or save the PTO. Probably the former -- I have a lot of PTO left to use this year as it is.

It works for me too.  It means I'll get Monday off work, so I can stay up late for fireworks (if I choose to go), and sleep in the next day.  ;D

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!




I hope you are all having a good weekend.

;D

I had a dentist appointment on Monday, and they found a small cavity.  I'm not in any pain, so it must be pretty small.  I have an appointment on Monday at 2:00 to have it filled.  Since I have the time to use, I took the full day off.

Mom had cataract procedure done on Monday on one eye, and she said everything went well.   She has an appointment for the 22nd on her second eye, so I took that day off so I could take her to the appointment.

Did some shopping today, and cleaning around the apartment, otherwise, it's been a quiet day.

I posted a link to the Disney / Pixar short film "Out" in the Culture Tent section of BetterMost.  Go check it out.  ;)

I ordered some stuff from Amazon last week,  it should be arriving next week.   I added a few new metal pins to my Super Friends collection, and I ordered a small print of the poster for Dashing In December.
