For talking rot.

Hahaha, you don't study law, we're in the ******* dark ages!
Computer science,
We're on the cutting edge*!




*our uni computers haven't been updated in so long the version of chrome on them won't load Linked.In, and it even struggles with GMail, only loading a basic HTML version of it.
 
Do you guys use lexisnexis... cause thing has a 1990s interface.

I’m taking a year off between undergrad and law school and I couldn’t imagine doing my job without a google suite. I feel as if I need technology more now than I did in college.
Yeah, fortunately I don't need it too much because it doesn't apply to a lot of what I'd be doing, it's awful though... Terrible.

"How to pronounce the place names in the top 10"

  1. Frome - "Froom"
  2. Ballachulish - "Ball - a - hoolish"
  3. Godmanchester - 'Godmunchester' (Gumster has also been offered as an alternative, but now little-used, pronunciation)
  4. Omagh - "Oh-ma"
  5. Woolfardisworthy - "Woolzery"
  6. Beaulieu - "Bew-lee"
  7. Bicester - "Bister"
  8. Ynysybwl - "An-is-abull"
  9. Rampisham - "Ran-som"
  10. Quernmore - "Kwor-mer"
 
I'm only realising now that words ending in agh (and finishing with an a or ahh sound) is unique to the anglicisation of Irish names. Probably should have realised earlier considering the difficulty people have in pronouncing Clodagh and similar names though...
