ebullient ancasa.reyn a random memory: whenever i see or hear the word ebullient, i immediately think back to when i was at university and heard the word for the first time. i lived in a dorm for a year, and one of my neighbours, ed, a fellow from the cleveland area, latched onto the word for several weeks, saying it as often as he could work it into a sentence. ehb-yoo-lehnt ed was a smart fellow, majoring in marine biology and minoring, i think, in german. he was also a funny guy, so i don't know if his pronunciation of the word was intentional or if he simply hadn't paid any mind to the dictionary's pronunciation guide. i wonder if he still pronounces it that way. 250914 what's it to you? who go blather from
