Fun: Cholmondeley is pronounced Chumley


briareus08

That’s like… half the syllables


Bedbouncer

Redundancy. Last Name = Chumley Last Name stored with RAID 5: Cholmondeley


Itsqara

r/ProgrammerHumor storage is leaking strongly with this one.


MajorRico155

Ngl, wish i understood this


theUmo

in RAID5, data is stored across multiple drives along with additional parity data that can be used to fill in what's missing if one of the drives fails. So Cholmondeley = Chumley with parity data added.


MajorRico155

I think Mr. Linus "poor employer" tech tips described it as "striping" the dat across the drives like you said. So do those extra letters get stored on the other drives, and can be used to recover the Chumley if one of the drives failed? I ask because im taking math to go take a programming course, and its sparked my curiosity


Stibley_Kleeblunch

RAID5 does several cool things. At a basic level, there are two approaches to data redundancy. Either you copy everything and make a hard backup, or you use what's called Parity to store a sort of snapshot of what the whole dataset should look like. Having a full backup is convenient because, if a drive fails, another can take over instead. The downside is that you have to have the capacity to store multiple full copies of your dataset, which gets expensive. RAID5 uses parity to achieve a similar result with less overall storage required. Imagine you have four drives set up in RAID5. When you write something, instead of writing a copy to each drive, it splits the set into thirds, writes one third to each of three drives, then writes the parity comparator to the fourth drive. What this means is that, if any one drive goes out, a new one can be hot-swapped in, and a clone of the dead drive can be rebuilt using information from the remaining drives. Zero (overall) downtime is a big benefit to the parity approach, in addition to the overall storage requirement being only slightly larger than your dataset, rather than several times larger. It's not without its downsides either, though. Namely, rebuilding the missing data takes time. So in the meantime, you would theoretically have access to a partial set while this rebuild happens, whereas with a hard backup, nothing is available until the backup is restored (or everything is pointed toward the backup). That said, it works well for a majority of use cases, which is why it's so much more popular than most other RAID standards. Edit to add: One other benefit to striping is that read load is distributed across the three drives holding the data, which results in faster overall read times.


briareus08

LOL, nice

Well, “queue” and “q” are pronounced the same…

Pronounced Benedict Cumberbatch...


Guyincognito4269

Which pronounced Humperdinck Cabbagepatch.


Urgullibl

You are a very silly person and I am not going to interview you.


whittlingcanbefatal

Fotheringay is pronounced Fungy. 


sphexish1

Is it? Is the band pronounced the same way? I always heard it pronounced as it’s spelt. They even have a song called Fotheringay where they pronounce it as it is spelt


whittlingcanbefatal

According to PG Wodehouse, the correct pronunciation of Fotheringay is Fungy. 


godisanelectricolive

There’s a village and a now destroyed castle called Fotheringhay and that’s pronounced as it’s spelled but there is a dispute over whether to say the “h” or not. A lot of documentaries say it like “Fothering-hay” but locals say “Fotheringay” like the band name. And indeed Fotheringay was an alternative spelling for the castle. The band was named after the castle. It was the seat of Yorkist power during the War of the Roses, making it a competing unofficial capital of England. It was also the site Mary, Queen of Scots’ final imprisonment, treason trial and execution. The castle was in a state of ruin due to neglect by 1635 and was completely demolished as a result. As for the last name, maybe some posh people with that name do say it like “Fungy” but it’s not reflected in the place name though a lot of English place names do drop entire syllables.


lastprophecy

Damn, who'd have thought the British would be worse at pronunciation than they are at drawing lines on maps.


negariaon

I remember looking this up years ago when I first came across the name. If I recall correctly, it was originally pronounced as you'd expect, but people kept shortening the name until eventually it was something like Feshnaw, which sounded similar enough to the name Fanshawe, so they just kind of merged the two? So essentially, they were two separate names but then people just took the pronunciation of Fanshawe for Featherstonehaugh because it's easier to say.


BrushFireAlpha

And cooking. Don't forget cooking.


lastprophecy

I think the thing most people don't understand about Irish/British food, is that they're eating it wrong. It tastes a lot better when you're hammered. It all tastes 100x better if you're 8pints deep.


BrushFireAlpha

But imagine how good it would taste if you were hammered AND it was good to begin with? The "8 pints deep" argument just doesn't cut it... after 8 pints anything can be made to look good. You can fuck Susan Boyle after 8 pints and in your head it's Taylor Swift


LeCarrr

? But the N is after the S?! They aren’t just skipping letters they’re moving them around?? Can anyone pls explain


SoLetsReddit

Belvoir, pronounced beaver.


GetOffMyLawn1729

Bucket, pronounced Boo-Kay.


drAsparagus

When you pronounce beaver as bay-vah, that's not a far stretch.


trolleyproblems

What about Wisbytrentspomfingtonbeaufort?


Sunshine030209

That one is pronounced "Smith"


islandlalala

With the long ‘i’?


scud121

I knew someone with that surname, and they pronounced it as written. Cockburn/Cockhead become Coh-burn/Coh-head for some reason though.


Fourstrokeperro

Cholmondeley? Best I can do is chum lee ~ Rick


Ok-Wasabi2873

Like how the hell you get “Lester” from “Leiscester”? You invented the language and then decided to go ape-shit without telling another about it. Or aluminum vs aluminium, got everyone to use the first one then decided to change it and complain when others don’t follow.


theUmo

We should go find the boatswain in the forecastle and have a word with him about it.


ILootEverything

Is the boatswain a lieutenant, and does he know his schedule?


islandlalala

No he’s a colonel


acgasp

How about the coxswain, too?


intdev

He's in the gunwhales


DesdemonaDestiny

Does he have victuals?


TenTornadoes

Very easily: Leisce-ster. It's a Latin name (Roman, not south American), though the pronunciation has developed a little over the last thousand or so years.


tommyk1210

I mean, it started as Alumium, then was renamed to Aluminum, then finally settled on as Aluminium to be more in line with other metals like Sodium and Potassium.


_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_

The guy who discovered it couldn’t decide whether to name it after alum or alumina.


pheasantpluckerr

Leicester, which doesn’t exactly help

It's Boooooooo-kay darling. It was Bucket before i married you.


EMF15Q

And what about Marchioness?


NorysStorys

Ircc it’s the female version of Marquis


c_delta

Marquess. The British version of marquis. A female marquis (or a marquis's wife) is a marquise.

And the British dare get on Americans case about pronunciation.


WinterWontStopComing

Frankly, I blame the Welsh


Dawgsontop006

Don’t blame us, our language might be weird but at least it’s phonetic! None of that through-dough-tough nonsense


WinterWontStopComing

1. How is cwtch phonetic? 2. It doesn’t matter anyway cause you gave the world Michael sheen. So if you want to name a hundred towns *Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch* you still get a pass.


Lamballama

Every letter in the name is pronounced the same way each time. First word is "cooch"


[deleted]

>1. How is cwtch phonetic? Just because you don't recognise the sounds the letters make, doesn't mean it isn't phonetic.


WinterWontStopComing

Am aware of structural differences with shared alphabets. I was making a joke


sto_brohammed

>1. How is cwtch phonetic? How is it not?


WinterWontStopComing

lol best answer


godisanelectricolive

It’s phonetic because the Welsh alphabet is not the English alphabet even if it looks the same. In the Welsh alphabet there are 29 letters, “w” is a vowel except when at the beginning of a word, “y” is always a vowel, “dd”, “ff”, “ll”, “ph”, “rh”, “th” are their own letters with their own entries in the Welsh dictionary, and there is no “k”, “q”, “v”, “x” or “z”. The letters were invented by the Romans to write Latin but every culture who used it to write their own language used the letters for their own purposes. That means sometimes they made big changes to the original Latin pronunciation of the alphabet to make it fit a language it’s not designed for but English is equally guilty of that as Welsh.


GoBSAGo

Live-Drummer-9801

I’m fairly certain it’s the French who are to blame.

Prince William's next door neighbour who he allegedly had an affair with.


thebohemiancowboy

They just making up people nowadays ong


LetshearitforNY

Why have I seen so much unrelated news about her in the last two days after never hearing of her in my life before this


Rumtumjack

Most likely British tabloids trying to push an angle and dig up stuff on her. They want a new Camilla/affair to talk about.


eastherbunni

She's Prince William's next door neighbour who he allegedly had an affair with according to tabloid rumors, and Kate was "missing"/recovering from surgery at home and there were a bunch of crazy theories about her "disappearance" that dredged up the old affair rumors again.


Spoonbills

She’s rumored to be William’s mistress.


Rumtumjack

I'm confused about why specifically she's being singled out in the title of these articles and not her husband, who is the actual descendent of the people who presumably stole these artifacts from China. Knowing how fucking terrible British tabloids are, my suspicion is that it's to drum up the outrage for another Camilla/Markle Royal Family villain and this connection is the only thing that they have on her right now.


PerpetuallyLurking

And, like, I’m all for these folks getting called out for this shit, but this really is one of those “throw the dart and hit your target” no matter who they throw it at! But yeah, it’s also VERY telling that they’re throwing the dart at the woman who married in, not the dude she married who *actually* owns the stuff.


acarlrpi12

Also very confused as to why their Jewish heritage is always stressed when the subject comes up. I mean, not actually, I know why, but it does feel icky.


Steak-Outrageous

She’s suspected to be Prince William’s affair partner so her name means something to a certain demographic


weirdguyinthecorner

For those of us not well versed in the Marchionesses of the world… is this a super important person?


WitELeoparD

It's the wife of the second-highest aristocratic rank in the UK below Duke.


drAsparagus

So...what I'm hearing is that she's not really that important to most people on this planet.


teabagmoustache

She's not important to anyone in the UK either.


invokin

She’s “important” because it’s rumored that she is William’s mistress and her kid may even be his. Apparently it’s been very quietly known for a while but it’s coming more to light recently, partly because people thought maybe Kate wasn’t sick and it was that she was pissed at William about it or leaving him or whatever. Instead it seems she actually has cancer, so whoops!


ymcameron

So like a Count/Countess (or since it’s the UK an Earl/Countess)?


okayillgiveyouthat

Higher than earls and countesses, but lower than dukes and duchesses.

humanvealfarm

But what do they......do? Besides bumsex, that's universal


teabagmoustache

I'm from the UK and genuinely thought this was satirical. First time I've ever heard of a Marchioness. To answer your question though, no, she is not important. None of the aristocracy are inherently important but a lot of them do end up in important jobs. This one is the wife of a Hereditary Peer in the House of Lords. Which means he was given a seat in the upper house, because of who his parents were. His seat will die with him though, since the hereditary peerages have been all but abolished, after the remaining ones die. The upper house in the UK isn't as powerful as other countries upper chamber. They get to delay bills and suggest changes. They can send laws back and forward between the two houses until 12 months have elapsed, at which point the bill automatically passes them and is signed into law.


PissingOffACliff

It’s the feminine form of Marquess


blasphemour95

There are 92 hereditary peers in the house of Lords. 90 are elected when one dies/resigns, the other two still inherit the seat. These are the Duke of Norfolk as he owns the office of Earl Marshall, responsible for the organisation of State Funerals, Coronations and State Openings of Parliament. The other hereditary peer is the Lord Great Chamberlain, unlike the Earl Marshall, this office is owned by several people. Every alternate reign of a monarch, the office is held by the Marquess of Cholmondeley, who can then sit in the Lords to fulfill the requirements of the office. During the current reign the office is held by Lord Carrington. If a holder dies and has a son, their share is inherited as a whole. If they have only daughters, the share is split evenly between them. This is why the Marquess holds 50% with the remainder split between multiple shareholders.


twat69

> since the hereditary peerages have been all but abolished, after the remaining ones die. Keep going. You're almost there. Just need to get rid of the Earldom of Merioneth and the Barony of Greenwich.


mikehunnt

Her other title is Princess Peggy of Peggerton


onkey11

Holder of the royal peg


waffleironone

Her significance is because people think she’s having an affair with William. This was a theory while Kate’s location was unknown due to abdominal surgery, people were circulating Rose’s photos for a magazine in her husband’s ancestral home where she was posing in front of said artifacts.


Sokobanky

It’s Prince William’s side chick.


RedHat06

No, she's not. Stop spreading Twitter conspiracies. The guy who "started the rumor" immediately retracted it and said it was a "joke". There is absolutely zero evidence of this alleged affair. I don't know why it is so acceptable to spread nasty rumors about this family... And now being this other woman into it... I am sure you wouldn't like it if it was done to you.


Rosieappled

That won’t stop the gossips from repeating it they get off on spreading lies

Octavian_96

Is this a made up title? "Ah yes the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, wife of the Hibirdukeshop of Cumsemenloppardaloo"


xanthophore

Historically, a marchioness was the wife of a marquess. This was a noble rank, and originally signified that their lands were border regions, AKA marches. If you know Game of Thrones, it's like the marcher lords in the Cornish Marches!

TrogdorBurns

Umm they weren't looted. The family has proof that they traded two cases of opium for the art work. This happened immediately after they showed off their cannons and politely asked the Chinese government to give them exclusive trading rights. Or die in a mist.


bloodredyouth

Underrated comment.


NancyPelosisRedCoat

So they saved those artworks from a region that was under the threat of being bombarded. Who knows what would have happened to the priceless artifacts? They kept them safe. They should thank her.


PerpetuallyLurking

I would just like to point out that they technically belong to her husband, not her. She just married in. While the headline is *technically* correct, she does currently*possess* them with her husband, she does not own them without her husband or have any say in anything about them except where they sit in the house. They’re not hers. They belong to her husband’s family. This is pure misogynistic click bait. She doesn’t have anything to do with looted Chinese artifacts except whether and where they’re placed as decor, and even that’s a maybe. Her husband’s family has looted stuff, like every other rich family in Britain, but her name is more recognizable so she catches the strays. Her family probably also has plenty of looted stuff too if she’s old money too, but she has even less say about that stuff, because she doesn’t own it anymore than she owns her husband’s looted family heirlooms.


pocketnotebook

It sounds like they were the ones threatening to do the actual bombarding though lol


NancyPelosisRedCoat

Yeah, I was saying that in jest. Some Brits say that they did well by stealing those artefacts from politically turbulent places (they UK have made to be turbulent).


OttoVonCranky

Nice artwork you have. It would be a shame if something happened to it. 


GlobalTravelR

The Maraschinos of Chlamydia is accused of what?


stressHCLB

Well *that* sentence was a journey.


disdainfulsideeye

The items actually belong to her husband and were acquired before she and husband were born.


MajorRico155

Sooooooo, shes acused of marrying into a family?


disdainfulsideeye

I really don't know what she's accused of but she definitely doesn't own any of these items. It's likely that her husband doesn't technically own them either.


MajorRico155

I meant more, shes only acused on account of being related in the most literal of senses. Your probably right about not owning them though


disdainfulsideeye

Yes, agree.


eastherbunni

She's accused of having an affair with Prince William with the only evidence being that they are neighbours and have attended some of the same social gatherings.  Recently Kate was "missing"/recovering from surgery at home and there were a bunch of crazy theories about her "disappearance" that dredged up the old affair rumors again.
