Be a great Dad: The American Man's Scotch Pronunciation Guide (so you can tell them what you'd prefer) - SteveG - 06-04-2014

A handy thing to know...
The American Man's Scotch Pronunciation Guide http://www.esquire.com/features/drinking/scotch-pronunciation-guide-5836909

about 50 short clickable pronunciation guides (at link)

...or, in some cases, when you wish to extend your streak as a bore and snob who dispenses extraneous knowledge to the unwilling, unreceptive and uncaring.

I would have been doing a "Vitameatavegamin" toward the end of that guide.

Great concept but the low content/ad ratio drove me away.

Sorry if I led you into a quagmire. I understand competely.

I found it handy. Now I know to never visit that site again.

If they could only get the sound levels the same from the EXTREMELY LOUD ads to the very low pronunciation that you went to the site to hear. TOTAL CRAP EXPERIENCE FOR ME (anyway).

Not throwing daggers at you, Steve G. Only what could have been a much nicer experience.

As the supervisor I was chatting with at Overstock.com customer support said in response to their thoroughly screwing up a simple one item order I made 6 days ago: "You have my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused you."
(He escalated it one notch, an inadequate response)
While you are jotting down a note to stay away from Esquire.com, may I suggest you add Overstock.com to that list)

It works fine on my iPad. What's up with that?
