[Ansteorra] Take a moment to look it up (was Pronunciation)

[Michael Tucker]

Please read it again, 'wolf. All the way through, this time. If you do, you'll
find that I wasn't picking on the person who asks a question; rather, those who
rush to post an answer but have nothing helpful to say - either because they
didn't take a moment to look up the answer, or because - in their haste? - they
missed the point of the original post entirely. Like you, I was raised to
believe that ignorance is curable, and that the best way to do that is to ask questions.

Yours,
Michael Silverhands
