Because of my science fiction background, I thought that people who didn't eat animal products were called "VAY-gens." Boy, did the first real one I met get mad about that.

English is inconsistent and nonsensical and anyone who gets mad about a mispronumciation needs to extract the stick from their ass.

it's a grievous mispronunciation but sometime you have to roll with it. like [livejournal.com profile] swaz says, english is for suckers.

The proper English pronounciation is terrible though. I think I'd prefer a vay-gen.

It's not vay-gen?

I made the same mistake for years. Is that why I always thought that? I never thought about that.

Vegans for the most part don't believe in keeping pets.
