I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

    I had to google the word tbh. My first instinct on reading segue was treating it like fugue, which ends on a hard g.

      fugue, plague, vague, hell QUEUE doesn’t pronounce the ‘ue’ twice.

      I could perhaps accept it being ‘segg-ew’ in the same vein as “venue”, “continue”, etc.
