My cat thinks he likes tabbouleh, but he doesn’t really.

Early in life I did think it was "apiece" or possibly "ah-PICE" - then at some point in my teens I heard someone pronounce it "APP-ih-chee" and I just assumed that was correct, and though I've heard a few other pronunciations over the years I stuck with that one.

The original Italian way is "ah-PEE-chay", but Carmine and Vinnie (or their family) apparently made a conscious decision when they were growing up to go with "apiece".

I didn’t know Loki’s old signature pic was from ‘The Apartment’ until I saw it for the first time yesterday and that made me pretty glum.

Virtually nobody who has “Be Kind” next to their name on Twitter is.

That was my reasoning (and I knew the correct Italian way).

In my head I've always pronounced it APP iss. I have no idea why, and I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced outside of my head.

Although, come to think of it, having been brought up a good Catholic boy, maybe my pronunciation model was 'chalice'.

I have heard Carmen Appice interviewed (and introduced as Ap-piece) as he was one of the first drummers to recognise the brilliance of John Bonham, very early on when Zep supported Vanilla Fudge in the US. So I'm guessing that's where I got my pronunciation from, in retrospect.

On a completely different track...

Between 1800 and 1960, 9% of European emigration was to Siberia. That's as much as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa put together.

While I suspect this may not have been entirely voluntary I haven't found out for sure why that happened yet.

Looking into it...
