That might be good. With text to speech getting as good as it’s getting, it’s probably getting in the realistic territory, too.

I’d create an actual god with morals of absolute good that rules over humans with an iron fist. Political debates? There’s an objective answer and the god knows it. Do something wrong? Get warned. Do something very wrong? It’s brainwash time.

If it consoles you, I can explain the reason for that one.

They both come from the verb restaurer (to restore). Restaurant being the present participle in this case. In French, “ant” is equivalent to the English suffix “ing”.

And restaurateur is “one who restores”.

Why is it “pronUnciation” but “pronOUnce”?

Is this universal or are there places where they pronounce it closer to its spelling?

In case you’re curious, the drinking age in Quebec is, in fact, 18.

I like to imagine that it’s not jars of peanut butter. Just raw peanut butter, sloshing around when it’s warm.
