Thought this merited a page. I'm not sure what category this belongs to, though; had some trouble distinguishing some of the contents of "Lists" from "Running Gags". -- Minivet 02:09, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- Lists are usually long strings of items or names. Running Gags are jokes that are repeated several times throughout toons. — Lapper (talk) 02:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Order
These things really need to be put in chronological order or something. SaltyTalk! 03:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think they're fine the way they are. You can do it if you want to. — talk Bubsty edits 21:44, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, they're in alphabetical order already. Which makes sense for a list of words. --DorianGray
Ukelele
Actually, the correct Hawaiian prononciation of Ukulele is oo·koo·lay·lay.
the "Yoo·ka·lay·lee" pronounciation is a Americanized mispronounciation that is accepted cause of common use. Marzipan and Strong Sad seem to be the type that would prefer the original "correct" pronounciation.
(there are also spelling variations: Ukulele or Ukelele)
So... should this word be removed from the list? im a new user so i dont wanna anger too many people right away.
