I accidentally started a fight under a post last night and had to double check if you were the OP haha. Engagement is engagement I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah yes, truly the Small Government ™ that I keep hearing Republicans go on about.

There are a couple of ways to pronounce the letter ‘H’ that could sound like ‘age’; one that keeps a soft ‘hah’ sound before ‘aitch’ and one that drops the soft ‘hah’. Both can end up sounding similar to a cross between eight/age depending on how clearly you enunciate.

Edit; Age also has a sharper ‘tch’ sound when spoken in those accents. There are probably accents that use a softer ‘g’ sound

Personally; no, but I have a resting ‘nice’ face. My partner does have this happen to him though!
