IPA

Only, I can't remember my IPA transliteration symbols, so we're going to have to go with good ol' phonetics.

This was a conversation that happened over the holidays. I'd forgotten about it until now, and I started to laugh my laugh again. :) The words being "phoneticized"? "Octagonal" and my friend's name, "Steph."

    "I don't think any one cares whether or not it's OC-tuh-gon-nl or not."
    "Uh, Steph, it's 'oc-TAG-uh-nl.'"
    "Oh who cares how you say it--you knew what I meant."
    "Sure, Steef."

:D
