    Like no one teaches that rule anymore, because there's like 400 words that dont follow the rule and only like 50 that do

    Your name actually supports my favourite grammatical rule, "when two vowels go out walking, the first one normally does the talking."

    I never used that.
    I learned it by using "B.E.C.A.U.S.E."


    What is it with you and basic, basic grammar?
    The other day you lectured me on prepositions, now you're reminding us about this rule that I haven't for something like 9 years.

    Is it bad that I pronounce it as ē-en-zoh instead of eye-en-zoh?

    Well you're pronouncing it wrong, so that's your first issue, Aye-En-Zoh.

    Well according to that we're all wrong.

    Watch out guys, apparently it's Eye-en-tso.

    I'm actually surprised, it's usually KS that does this.

    Well I heard Even put a certain emphasis on the "zo" portion of it, so it sounded a bit harsh. idk, it might just be me, but I do pronounce it the same way as you.
