Hence why the alt-right doesn’t kick off about his behaviour.

Ah yes, of course. The alt-right does what the left isn’t allowed to joke about.

Word is that he’s pissed. Alan Horn - chairman of Disney, who the statement about Gunn’s firing was attributed to - has prided himself on allowing Disney’s subsidiaries a great deal of autonomy. Feige used that autonomy to hire Gunn to direct Guardians of the Galaxy, knowing full well who he was hiring (even if he…

Buffalo Bill?

Instead they should stick to their Gunn.

I guess the difference is the alt-right didn’t kick off about Depp’s behaviour on Twitter?

Same here, but they’re now in a situation where they’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t and I bet they’ll go with the option that doesn’t involve admitting they were wrong. But it would be nice if they just came out and said ‘We believe that people can change and, after careful consideration, we think that…

All right, Star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek! Come on in Star Trek lovers! Here at CBS Access we’re slashing Star Trek in half! Give us an offer on our vast selection of Star Trek, this is a Star Trek blow out! All right, we got white Star Trek, black Star Trek, Spanish Star Trek, yellow Star Trek, we got hot Star Trek,…

You are not.

This is pretty much my feeling about it too - Disney fucked up, but they’re not going to admit it. He was fired so quickly there was clearly no due process involved and the statement released by chairman Alan Horn made it sound as though it was something that had just happened without understanding the context behind…

You’re mixing up acronyms and initialisms. An acronym is, by definition, pronounced as a single word, whereas an initialism is where you pronounce each individual letter. So ‘FBI’ is an initialism, pronounced ‘Eff Bee Aye’, because you can’t really pronounce it as a single word. ‘PIN’ is an acronym because you can…

All acronyms are pronounced as single words - that’s what makes them an acronym. Pronouncing the individual letters would make it an initialism.

If it’s an acronym, then it would be pronounced Sness. 

Your?

No, if it’s pronounced like a single word it’s an acronym, if you pronounce each letter individually it’s an initialism. 

But do they mean Ness as in the Loch Ness Monster, or Ness as in Nez (with a hard Z sound at the end), which is how I’ve always said it and how everyone else in the UK tends to say it?

No, YOU’RE the outlier! Myself, and everyone I know, have called them the Ness and the Sness since the early ‘90s.

It’s more like Nez, with a Z sound, rather than Ness, which I would have thought was pronounced as in the Loch Ness Monster.

How do Americans say that differently? According to the BBC, it should be ‘aitch’ but my entire life as a Brit I’ve known people say both ‘aitch’ and ‘haitch’ pretty much interchangeably.
