No jornal A Bola, escreve-se à bruta

EVH. Now, we had an eleven-point deal and three points went to Ted, our producer.
DLR. Ted still makes more money than I do on those first two records.
EVH. Oh yeah, he makes more than all of us.
AVH. But he’s still Ted.

Ia aproveitar o serão para escrever umas notas sobre este diálogo entre Steve Jones e Kim Thayil:

Steve Jones. … and we’re here with Kim /feɪl/ — am I saying that right?
Kim Thayil. Yeah, pretty much.
Steve Jones. OK. How would you say it?
Kim Thayil. /θʌɪl/.
Steve Jones./fʌɪl/!
Kim Thayil. /θʌɪl/.
Steve Jones. Like a file [fʌɪl].
Kim Thayil. No. Thayil rhymes with ‘smile’, I suppose. TH. I’m sure my family pronounces it incorrectly, I’m sure there is a traditional Indian pronunciation.

Todavia, as minhas voltas foram trocadas pelo jornal que gosta de resistir em silêncio e ceder, em vez de viver plenamente uma vida democrática.

Efectivamente, em vez de me debruçar sobre o interessantíssimo TH-fronting, vi-me obrigado a perder tempo com um título escrito à bruta.
