Pete and Repete were in a boat. Pete fell out, so who was left?

It was a stretch, but apposite.

Yep. Just feels like a soft-G word to me. And sounds better that way. Hard-G is just…ugly.

Have always used the soft G.

Neither, because they weren’t in a boat in the first place. They were walking down the street. Pete and Repete were walking down the street. All of a sudden Pete turned in to the candy shop. Who was left?

Sometimes I say “Sequel” and sometimes “S-Q-L”, but whichever pronunciation I’m using it’s the right one, and the other one is wrong.

Pete and Repete were walking down the street, when one of them walked into a bar. The other ducked. Which one ducked? Please show all your work (50% of final grade).

Happily, I never have any reason to use that term.
I am sorry, but Spence Bay, my first-grade bestie, is the authority to whom I bow. The correct telling is “Pete fell into a manhole.” you’re welcome.

Wait…did the other one duck…duck in to the bar…for a Grey Goose?
That could matter.

Did he turn right into the candy store or left?

He turned left right into the candy store, gorged himself, and left, right?

And yet one sounds exactly like my second-favorite brand of peanut butter. The other doesn’t sound like anything but a cute (and sometimes animated) picture on my computer. So I use the other.
I should ask my father-in-law which he prefers. He’s a computer nerd of long standing (works for Google these days), and his last name is Gingras with a soft initial G, which nearly everyone gets wrong at first, so I suspect he might prefer the soft G for no other reason than that.
He also grew up near Boston, where they stubbornly insist on mispronouncing the name of their basketball team, so maybe they just have an allergy to hard consonants.

I don’t like peanut butter. Blech.
Same as the Glasgow football team?
