Beater tested

I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, History of the Germans, and was surprised to hear the host refer to a King of the Romans’ plan as “beater tested” until I recalled that he lives in Britain and that “beta” is pronouced like “beet” there, and the “-a” sound on the end can tend to sound a bit like “-er” to my ear as well, possibly influenced by suggestion and trying to make sense of an unfamiliar set of phonemes but I thought that was amusing and also I am still not caught up (only upd to episode 146 so far and that was from May of last year) but again this is a great podcast and I recommend it.

And since I am also always myself beater-testing things the way I imagine you take your old hotrod or your old axe and just go to town on it without worrying too much about wear and tear here, are some more nanopublished things that went out there beyond mediajunk.ie proper since the last time I caught up on such things.
