Mr. Preiss' pronounciation is pretty entertaining too: "arr-loo-pa"
Although I have the feeling it's intentional as opposed to the "fluster factor" at work as it is with wendy.
And the very ending of the meeting was interesting as well--wendy sputtering around trying to put our other guy up (although he was unprepared) to use the leftover time.
It's an "Acronym" folks. I know "Acronym" might be a big word for some here, but it simply means an abbreviated way of saying something with several words. So any pronounciation is valid. Meaning, it ain't in the dictionary and there's no "approved" way of saying it.
The CORRECT way to say it is "Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000".
If you choose to abbreviate it, you're on your own.
That anyone here would even bother to point out the pronunciations of it is revealing that they don't have much else to say.

And anybody with so much time on their hands as to find it worthwhile to correct such "silly" behavior must definitely be sitting around on disability or something.
AND we're just having a little fun. Ever have fun? It's silly, a waste of time, sure. But it's one of the things that makes life worth living--fun, levity. Dolt.

Ok...and right about now you'll call me a lemming again or assign me a nickname, right??
Or perhaps you'll just keep going on this thread to have the last word.
All because we're having some fun observing human quirks.
