Cicahdas

Actually, that's how it was pronounced in "Slow Horses."

But they're British, so we can forgive them. They're won't to add irregular letters, you know.

[Renauda]

Pretty sure it’s pronounced cicahda in the parts of this country where they occur.

Don’t have them outbhere, so it’s a
matter of tomato vs toemato or potato vs potaeta.

I took 271 photos of it today from my back patio.

89.1% Partial Eclipse. Decided to stay home this time.
Canon 50D on a fixed tripod w/18-200mm Zoom at 200mm f5.6 1/1600 sec exposures, ISO 100. Baader Planitarium Solar Film Filter.

271 photos aligned, registered and output to avi movie format using PIPP (Planetary Imaging Pre-Processor)
It's not perfect, but it's still pretty cool.

Americans correcting the British on their pronounciation is nothing new.

Some fucker will pipe up in a minute and say 'back in medieval times everybody in England sounded exactly like John Wayne, you know!'

At one time all the Americans sounded like Anthony Hopkins.

Anthony Hopkins.

Who is a US Citizen, by the way.

I rest my case.

Probably. I'm not sure I could understand either.

Actually dual British/American citizenship.

The worst best of both worlds!

Thanks 89th! It's just fun. I don't consider it work. Nobody pays me for it.

Ridiculous superstition still governs the minds of many.

Yes because standing outside wearing tin foil glasses and holding colanders up to sunlight is, like, not at all weird.
