[21:26] Matt I think maybe you're missing the point that marshmallow is the proper spelling of the word.
[21:26] Greens WHAT!?
[21:26] Matt ... yes.
[21:26] Greens But...
/why?/[21:26] Diluss ...
[21:26] Matt
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/marshmallow[21:26] Diluss What do you mean?
[21:26] Greens It's not
/pronounced/ marsh-mall-oh
[21:26] Greens It's marsh-mell-oh!
[21:26] Diluss yes it is
[21:27] Matt It depends on your level of education.
[21:27] Matt *nose in the air*
[21:27] Diluss I have always pronounced it with an ah
[21:27] Greens AARRHHH.
[21:27] Greens

[21:27] Diluss Yes, basically what matt said.
[21:27] Matt You'd really have to stretch the word out like a ninny to draw any audible distinction.
[21:28] Greens That makes me
/strangely angry/[21:28] Matt So, yeah, that's why people commonly think it's marshmellow. No distinction is audible, and people know the word "marsh" and the word "mellow"
[21:28] Matt And just go with what's familiar.
[21:28] Kazz the great Marshmallow Spelling Debate of 2011
[21:28] Greens
[21:29] Matt This is some educational stuff, Kazz
[21:29] Matt Stick around, get cultured
[21:29] Greens Well, it /will/ be handy if I'm ever in another spelling bee.
[21:29] Greens But I'm so old now, they'll be throwing all these really difficult words at me.
[21:29] Greens So it's hopeless anyway.
[21:29] Kazz well I already knew how to spell Marshmallow
[21:30] Diluss apparently it soothes mucus membranes
[21:30] Greens /
Well aren't you just the smartest fox in the land/
[21:30] Matt See, Greens?
[21:30] Matt Kazz knew.
[21:30] Diluss good for ulcers of all kinds
[21:30] Matt Why didn't you know?
[21:30] Matt Geez.
[21:30] Diluss sore throats
[21:30] Diluss and
[21:30] Kazz I think I just see 'marshmellow' so much that it's stopped making my "I WILL MURDER YOU ALL" radar that's my usual reaction to common misspellings go off.
[21:30] Diluss other things
[21:30] Greens
[21:31] Matt It looks like my job is done here.
[21:31] Matt Goodnight, everyone.
[21:31] Diluss goodnight matt
[21:31] Diluss spell well
[21:31] Matt And you as well, Spelling and Etymology Brother John.
