You know, you might just want to check your spelling (typos, I presume...), as well as the included link (points to the main Wapsi Square site...)

Re: Which Side Should You Tie Your Dirndl?
Whenever I see the word "Dirndl" I think a vowel or two are missing. Then I remember "squirreled" has the most vowels for a single syllable word, and I shouldn't be so picky.

Re: Which Side Should You Tie Your Dirndl?
With all the political turmoil and international conflict these days, it's good to remember better times... like the great Vowel Crisis of 1993 (a prime example of an odd year, it's true) .
The United States responded to a dreadful shortage of vowels in Europe and the U.K. (there had been a crop failure) by airlifting many tons of excess As and Os and Us from Hawaii and dropping then by parachute into Ysbyty Ystwyth, Krk, Pyzdry, Ryn, Szczyrk, Tychy, and Wyrzysk.
Quick treatment of the residents with large doses of warm, soothing vowels quickly relieved the symptoms of this nutritional deficiency (serious throat cramps and tongue spasms) and averted what might have been a dsstr.
Re: Which Side Should You Tie Your Dirndl?
Ah, vowels...
Some don't know how the Great Plains were populated by European immigrants. There were companies which sent recruiters to various places to advertise the opportunities, and they were tailored to match regions. That's why a lot of Swedes and Norwegians wound up in Minnesota, etc. Accordingly, a lot of Poles, Czech, and Lithuanians wound up in Nebraska and Iowa. Yay, farmers!
Their names were Americanized at Ellis Island, of course, but by the 1980s, there was a cultural movement to "Reclaim your Name" and some people were changing back to their original family name. This led so an interesting political race in the Omaha area. One candidate ran as follows: "Ted Przybysz - 100% American!"
His (Kiowa Sioux) opponent? "Kathy Bloodknife - 100% Americaner!"
(pronounced "shib bish" BTW...)

My Polish-American friend in the Georgia Tech dorm who went by the pseudonym "Thaddeus Q. Przybysz" pronounced it "Pri-shi-bish" as nearly as I can recall after forty-five years.Atomic wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 4:08 pm Ah, vowels...

{I definitely recall the "Pri" on the front, anyway.}

Re: Which Side Should You Tie Your Dirndl?
I thought "squirreled" was two syllables.

Re: Which Side Should You Tie Your Dirndl?
As did I, but I guess it could be a regionalism. Much like pronouncing "Get on out of here!" as one word.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
Re: Which Side Should You Tie Your Dirndl?
It has four vowels. So does "queue" - which also holds the record, in English, for the largest fraction of its letters being silent. (They are politely waiting their turn.)
When I met my wife, she was working for a guy whose last name was Przybycien - pronounced "per-bitchen".Atomic wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 4:08 pm Ah, vowels...

Re: Which Side Should You Tie Your Dirndl?
What about faze? I've found a lot of people misspell that. Not to mention ensure. People keep spelling it as 'insure'. "He wanted to insure that the bomb went off as planned."
BTW, I should upbraid you for that pun.

Re: Which Side Should You Tie Your Dirndl?
So the young lady and elderly gentleman were waiting in queue at a British bus stop for the coach to come by. It was a warm, breezy spring morning, and as luck would have it, the wind lifted the young lady's skirt. Not wanting to add to the lady's embarrassment, he tried to change the subject.
