But there are no mandibles It's gotta have mandibles so I can point out the mandibles, giving me a reason to say mandibles more often. Some words are really fun to say..
I guess you'll just have to prefer ssssss to r are are. It does help to tone down the distraction if you want to shut down a face part. People don't like it when you tell them to shut up. I know you don't as a habit and maybe sometimes as fun and maybe even sometimes when you have been despairing. So would you forgo our opportunities to hear you say it for the sake of a slight inflection?
Are you still bidding? I'll up the ante, say close your mandibles and we got a winner with the added prize of a different kind of interest thrown in.
