Phonetics

Today's top LOL goes to Ms. Lael Ceriani, as she called Ms. Jenni Farley by what she thought was Jenni's nickname, JWOWW. But she didn't pronounce it the way you are probably thinking she did. She uttered (phonetically) Juh-Wow.

If you didn't know, it's pronounced JAY-Wow.

Some of the questions/statements (made in my mind) that followed the immediate laughter were:

- Juh-what are you thinking?
- Juh-are you serious?
- Juh-even I've watched a few episodes.
- Juh-*wow* (the asterisks are there to specify that I said it in a special voice, some of you have heard either me or Taylor use "the voice")

Well that's enough for making fun of Lael's pop culture oblivion. Because I'd rather talk about the way that I laughed after Lael's cute slip-up.

It is no secret that I have a loud laugh. MANY teachers/leaders/authority figures have singled me out for being disruptive because I was laughing too loud. I reach levels of high-pitched noise that even dolphins admire. If you don't believe me, you can ask Susanne Morris for a personal take on how annoying it is.

I'm sad to admit that the laugh that some people compliment is not natural. It's gone through many changes. I think it's because I often cackle like a witch if I don't make any effort to control my laughter. It probably should enter a new phase, for Susanne's sake.

Well, I'm out of things to say, I just wanted to electronically remember that everyone makes mistakes, even when they're referring to one of pop culture's larger icons.
