  2. there is def a whole lot I would second ... and some I never heard of - probably for the best ;)

    but it's the opposite with the length of like/dislike ... the dislike gets longer and longer - while the like has a pretty much stable to shorter length

    I just hate life *ggg*

    1. I've always said "Q-pon," and it's weird, because that's the way most people said it here in the U.S. until maybe fifteen or twenty years ago, and then all the sudden - for no apparent reason! - everyone started saying it "coo-pon"! (I've looked it up in old dictionaries even. "Q-pon" was always the preferred pronunciation.) I've gotten used to hearing it the other way, but I still always say "Q-pon." "Coo" just sounds weird to me!! :)

    1. I think I might be the only person on Earth who doesn't like Friends! (So I'm glad you're okay with not judging me for it. :D)
