Well that is it. I give up.

I feel I'm such a disappointment to you. It saddens me, but I am naturally a forgiving sort*, trying to smooth the way to better days and better topics. Is that so wrong?

And for the record, I've also heard it pronounced HOM-ij.

Oh-MAZH is fake intellectual bullshit (perhaps used ironically by some? str8?). It is not standard american english, see (or listen) http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/homage , which gives the ha-mij pronunciation 2d billing. I don't like the hard h either, but it's better than blatantly mispronouncing a word in a misguided effort to sound smart.

Are you moonlighting?

Another bunch of parasites trying to capitalize on my internationally-known, progressive, smart, funny, tall and sinewy internet persona. It gets tedious after a while. In fact, 90% of my day is spent just brushing the little people off my coat-tails.

And did you know that Gwinky now likes me more than booze? That made me feel good, because she used to really like booze. A lot.

Spankster. you don't need Burger's link to put someone on ignore- you can do it yourself AND you can ignore the people who won't use Burger's link. I think the threat of being spanky-ignored would straighten out those few.

Wow. Even the threat of the threat is scary. Whatever happened to the punishment fitting the crime?

I'm playing nice in sandbox why are people being threatened about being ignored?

I understand what you are saying, but what I don't understand is why we think it is pretentious when someone pronounces a french word the way it is supposed to be pronounced in french (leaving aside how people feel about the french in general).

I get confused by the Americanization of french words because in Canada sometimes we pronounce them more closely to the french. For example, I pronounce "foyer" as "foyay" because that is how I learned the word (in English) and people here actually say foyerrr. It sounds funny.

I threw out a reasonable proposal and was turned down. And then Burger offered what I thought was the perfect solution. Maybe a little harsh but the reasonble proposal was turned down.
