Biopics
I was talking with Clara about the new Anthony Bourdain movie coming out, and it…
Wait, hold on a moment, Vim is telling me I misspelled the word “movie”. Really? Yeah, look at that, “movie” has a red box around it. Huh. Who’d have thunk it? Wait, Vim has “thunk” but not “movie”? Anyway, I digress.
I was talking with Clara about the new Anthony Bourdain movie coming out, and it went something like this:
Me: Did you see the news about the Anthony Bourdain bi-opic?
Her: I did yeah, we should see it. But also, I used to pronounce it “bi-opic” as well.
Me: Wait, used to?
Her: Yeah. Then I watched some film critics, and they were saying it as “bio-pic”.
Me: “Bio-pic”?
Her: Yeah, as in “biography” “picture”.
Me: …
Her: …
Me: I feel quite silly.
Her: You should in general, but not about this.
Me: Words you read but never say, amirite?
Her: You should try speaking English as a second language.
