as a teenage babysitter I would read Dr Seuss to the boy next door, and insisted on pronouncing it the British way, until he very patiently asked "Look, I know it is technically pronounced zed, but could you please say zee so the rhyme works?"

i’m never more disappointed than when i find a children’s book is british. don’t try and make scarf and laugh rhyme. we fought a war over this

Museums really need to get into giving gift memberships you can give as a voucher in a nice card... I don't just want to sign up online then I don't know if the recipient is going to get hit with it right now not on Christmas
