how do you say it?

[mvansand76]

Uhm... the English language doesn't have the 'ui' and English speaking people would probably have trouble pronouncing it!

I have no idea how to explain it! 

David, can you pronounce snuitje?

[David In Indy]

I'm terrible at trying to type out phonetics!

But, I  think the closest way to explain how it's pronounced would be something like "snowt-yuh"

Snowt (like snout) with a "yuh" or "yeh" sound after it.

I guess I could have said to say it like snout-yuh.

I don't know Melissa! lol

That's probably the only way English speaking people can pronounce it but it's nowhere near how it is pronounced. God, I wish I could post a sound link.

Oh by the way, I have posted a new thread where you can write text messages that Ennis and Jack could've/would've sent eachother if they had had cell phones! It's in the fanfic section!

I know it. I told you I was really bad at explaining phonetics to people!

Oh no, I didn't mean it like that!

Well, just when we thought we had all we can take, it's going to happen again! 

Indiana will be picking up another 2 - 4 inches of snow tonight.

Is anyone else sick of winter yet, or is it just me? 

[UntamedFriesian]

Right there with you David, enough of the snow!!! I'd be happy with temps in the 40's right now!!  Can't wait for Spring.  We're slated for more snow this weekend too.

Glad to see the "925" has gone, David. I like the new look!
