    Then there's Arthur Webb, who ran his 15th Badwater this year at age 70. And PRed it.

    What in the Jehu?

      Now I'm feeling angst.

       

      I felt angst when I learned that I'd been mispronouncing angst for several years.

      I put it under there.

        How can you mispronounce angst?

        "Way to make Borat look overdressed"

          I had the A sound wrong. It's a as in armor, and I was saying a as in apple. Later this all led to a serious case of ennui. Then the willlies set in, and eventually I got the heebie-jeebies. It all culminated in a spectacular case of the bends.

          I put it under there.

            It's a German word, so you either pronounce it like the Germans did and look like a dork or butcher it with some moderately close English guess. It's a no win proposition. I suggest avoiding the term in spoken intercourse.

              Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance.

              I put it under there.

                Imagine my schadenfreude at your angst over your pronunciation of angst.

                The process is the goal.

                    Probably good advice for non-spoken intercourse as well.

                     

                    And like "Ongst"?  What the hell?

                              I just googled "german high jumper" and there she was.

                                Looks like you got the bends for nothing.

                                Here, both American and British pronunciations use a as in apple (/æŋst/)

                                 

                                "ennui" is pronouned enn-you-eye, right?
