oops, I'd meant to mention this blog to you before a time or two and usually something got in the way. Glad you found it and enjoy it as much as I do.
Posted by Michael Farris at January 25, 2005 06:18 AMWell, I could have found it the way Sauvage Noble did, via my own comment section, but somehow I never clicked on Chris's name and checked out his site.
Posted by language hat at January 25, 2005 07:59 AMThanks for the plug, Language Hat. :-D I've posted an entry about something that's been on my mind lately.
And I didn't know you read my blog, Mike. Glad you enjoy it.

Posted by Christopher Sundita at January 25, 2005 02:50 PMNice entry! By the way, where is the stress in the name Sundita? I hate not knowing how to pronounce things...
Posted by language hat at January 25, 2005 08:58 PMOn the second syllable.
The pronunciation of my surname itself depends on what language you're speaking.
American English: [s@n'diR@] (I let /R/ represent the tap that Americans usually do)
Tagalog: [sun'di:ta?]
Sundita used to be Lundete [lun'dE:tE?] before the US Army misread my great-grandfather's handwriting in WWI.
