I know right? While I'm fine with being corrected, one could also say the person that tried to correct me blew a JFC conniption valve a little to easily over something so little as if I was rude to the King of France. Funny what becomes and issue here sometimes. lol

You are doubling down. Never double down when you are wrong. It makes you look like a dick, in addition to being doubly wrong. Harlock has a point, if you are going to use foreign words, at least make sure of getting the transliterations right. I had no idea what you were on about until he corrected you.
I was right about the accent, which would have helped to identify the french pronunciation. But, I did goof. I saw a link in the dictionary application saying "Can be confused with" and failed to notice the flip-flop of the vowels. C'est la vie. My apologies to anyone who thinks I was acting "like a dick" to them over this mistake. It was certainly never my intention.

where is that key on the keyboard? if it was there i would have used it..
To everyone, wala/walla is a saying I will not accept I got it wrong, it was right. There are plenty of words that could be used in its place though. Comprende?

I'm letting you know that you are 100% wrong. They are literally not saying that in those movies. They are using a real word that has a real definition. It doesn't matter how they (incorrectly) pronounce it or how you are (incorrectly) hearing it. There are still R's in words in Boston, they just don't say them. They don't change the spelling and make up new words.

Fair enough, I didn't know how to spell what I was hearing from a different language. It totally comes off as walla to my ears, now I know more of the origin, but it has been said throughout my life. I still used it correctly from the start, just mistyped it from not knowing the spelling of it, yeah no Spelling Bee trophies over here.
I'm happy you came around. It was kind of funny seeing you double, triple, and quadruple down on it.
Whatever, this is a particularly funny one, but we all have something we say wrong without knowing. My parents will forever call it expresso, to use an example others already have.

I hope that the complaints from users turn into some real legal action that will force MS's hand. They just need one big on/off switch to turn off all OS ads entirely, that's relatively easy to find. And not have that switch magically reset to "on" every few weeks when there's an update. If they do that, I'll be happy.

At current reproduction rates the planet is going to see another 10 billion people on it in the next 30 years. What do you think is going to happen at that point when most of them are unemployed, hungry, and angry? Glad I won't be around for it.
Somebody to scale has had to say that over generationaly since the dawn of time. Showing age.
So several billion more people in the span of 3 decades won't lead to any forseeable problems. You seriously need to lay off the drugs.

"Walla" is like "pasgetti" and "nucular", "expresso"...
