| Introduction | My name is David, and I'm a southern California transplant to the northern wilds of Oregon, a reluctant participant in the peanut gallery of life, a consumer of the arts, a student of history, a liberal dreamer, a half-hearted cynic, and a dyed-in-the-wool intellectual wannabe. I like to write fiction and poetry, and sometimes I like to share them with the world; I share, therefore I blog. |

How do you pronounce the 'g' in bologna?
Strictly speaking, I don't. The "g" is actually an orthographic convention of the Italian language indicating that the following "n" represents a palatal nasal consonant, which can be represented roughly in English by the letters "ny." So, that.
