I just added this to my list of LJ interests:

piratesofthecuhribbeannotcaeribbean

Because you know, everyone in that movie pronounces it the weird way. It's odd, because I do it too. If I'm talking about the place I tend to say "cuh-rib-be-an" but if I'm talking about the movie, I weirdly say "caer-i-be-an." I've decided this is weird, especially since I've heard other people do it too and I've seen some people mention it before.

Anyway, if someone else is interested in this, then it will get a nifty looking underline on our info pages, and become a link.

Though you could definitely make a case of how "of the" are not really trochaic but are really pyrrhic

Dudette, you had me until pyrrhic. I never remember pyrrhic.

But you're right, when said as a whole phrase, it does flow better that way.

"I'm a Caribbean amphibian! I like to hop in the tropical seeea! Caribbean amphibian! Won't you sing along with meeeee! Won't you sing along with meeeeeee, ribbit ribbit!"

That sounds like a criminally cute and ridiculous toy. I want one now.
