Funny you should mention this. I recently spent the better part of a weekend watching all the Pink Panther movies.
"That's a priceless Steinway!"
"Not anymore".
"You killed him in a rit of fealous jage!"
I could go on...
Did you read about the biopic w/ Geoffrey Rush playing PS?

Yes, I did hear about the biopic (btw...what do you say: bye-opic, or bio-pic? I'm taking a survey). The article said Seller's family was wow'd by the performance.

Do you mean which syllable gets the accent? I say BYE-o-pic. Long O. bye-AH-pic sounds like a vision impairment.

Me too. I say bye-o-pic, as in biograpical picture. But I hear it said the other way more often than not. Language manglers.

Oh, and Sellers is in the air. I just got off the phone with brother G upstate, who kept inserting "But ahf course" (in full Closeau accent) into the conversation.

Yes, I kneaw. I can feel it my bewns. Kay-to?

Hadn't ever considered that it was a Bio-pic and instead have always pronounced it a BI-opic.

Oh susannah, now don't you cry for...sorry.

I used the word 'implosable' instead of 'opposable' (like the thumbs) for years and years until someone corrected me, thank God. Implosable!? I may not be book-learned, but Jesus. At least Bi-opic makes sense.

I guess in my mind it was a view of some sort.. a personal view and so the "opic" part made sense.. *shrug* Merriam Webster online has a little pronunciation icon where you can hear some poor schmuck pronounce every root word in the dictionary and the winner is "Bio-Pic". And thankfully I stand corrected now.

-however-

I take it your pronunciation of the word was im-plo-si-bul (long o) instead of im-plah-si-bul (rhymes with possible) - if not, you could have said that you simply meant that he/she/it had thumbs which were so dexterous as not to be believed.

Is that possibly the nerdiest comment left?

"Is that possibly the nerdiest comment left?"

Hell no! God I wish I'd thought of that at the time. Perhaps I would have come off less like a moron and more like a word smithin' supra-genius, like you.

Or like Grant. Dude's got some mad language skills.
