Luann Againn by Greg Evans for November 07, 2020

I don’t thin that’s why there are two "u"s in vacuum but I admire the clever joke.

I do miss Greg’s wit in the current Luannaverse.

Brad’s “chew mouth” cracks me up

LOL! Good one, Greg :-D

Explains alot…

And with That Luann first learned to never bring up subjects that could lead to uncomfortable questions about “chores” being asked.

The English word “vacuum” is derived from the Latin word “vacuum” (pronounced “vac-yoo-um”). In other words, there are two U’s because both of them used to be pronounced.

Luann has A BIG MOUTH just like Ralph Kramden.

I continue to forget that studing Latin is not common in the US.

Makes perfect sense to me.

US American here – I just realized I pronounce “vacuum” 2 different ways, depending on usage. The chore, vacuum, I pronounce as “va-cume” (u as in cute). But when talking about “vacuum” in regards to physics or space, I pronounce it as “va-cuy-um” of space or inside an object which has had all gas removed. I can’t be the only one who does this. Or am I really that weird?

That’s why you put a duty roster on the fridge.
