Wait, I've gotten off topic.
As mistress (ooh!) of this blog, I have taken it upon myself to put an end, once and for all, to the heated controversy regarding the name of our GALA fundraising thermometer (see the survey above this post, or at the top of the blog if you're reading this well after its posting date). To be blunt, I've had it!
And yet, the question remains: (Leora, are you reading this?) If we trust our esteemed artistic director to teach us how to pronounce "lampeao", "povuchniga" and "when" (hint: it's not "wen"), then what exactly are the obstacles to accepting her pronunciation of Galameter? Is it that terms pertaining to fundraising do not fall under her purview? Or...perhaps...is this a nascent independence uprising? (see?) Inquiring minds want to know.
Whatever the reason, the voting for the appropriate pronunciation, accent, emphasis, whatever you want to call it, of "Galameter" will officially end on Tuesday, June 10. If you haven't voted, and you want to vote, then do it now. If you have voted, no stuffing the ballot box, no observing that cherished American tradition of voting more than once. No chads, no recounts, no contacting the U.S. Supreme Court. Tuesday night, it's over.
In the interest of fair play, a little vowel pronunciation assistance for you (now we know what Leora goes through):
Appropriate announcements and conclusions will be forthcoming. Pom-poms welcome.
