    In typical North American and UK English dialects, “bi” and “eye” are pronounced the same. “Bi-“ prefixes are almost never pronounced as you would in some French, Spanish, or Italian dialects (ex “bicycle” vs “bicyclette”) where you would rhyme “bi” more with “bee” as in a honey bee.

    I could be wrong. My knowledge of Spanish isn’t profound, and my Italian is even worse (although I do speak with my hands a lot) but I am a French Canadian and speak with a lot of French people (both Parisian and non-Parisian) so you can bet your baguette on that part.






  • What shit that was a typo, that’s what I meant to say. I stole that joke off a creep comedian in jail so I won’t credit them but it’s a fairy that flies around with a bicycle pump at night, and gives a little pump each night to all the little estrogen receivers and achievers across the world
