It's a blue igloo. Isn't it?

That's what I thought, also.

So who is the WPBN user this rhyme time represents?

Travis?

Big blue igloo.

You got it Norma.

With thanks to Jota. :)

Yes, and btw, how do you pronounce Jota? Just asking. No reason.

Jota is the letter "J" is Spanish and and in Spanish, J's are pronounced like and H. As in Hay-soos for the Spanish pronunciation of Jesus, which you have probably heard.

Oops, I guessed nieboo (Bionerd).

IIRC, Jota was called that in school where there more than one Mary, so they were differentiated by their middle initial. I have an aunt named Mary K (who's always been called "Mary K" ) and her daughter is Mary E.

Yep, Jota is the letter J in Spanish, and it's pronounced "Hota" or Hoe-ta

That's going to take some thought.

Everyone is correct!

Nice minimalism.

I don't think I ever did come up with a rhyme for Jota.

How about Dakota. There, I've upped your quota by an iota.

Don't know.

It all depends on the correct pronunciation of the TA, which should be like TAvern.

I pronounce tavern with a very flat a. I was led to believe by my high school Spanish teachers that Spanish always has a soft a like saying "ah".

Pronunciation by JustNahuel is the one I liked the best! My english pronunciation has an accent, so I was misleading you when I said Tavern. Sorry!
