Yeah in the same way that Québécois folks are Mainland frenchies

You're just an especially active proto-fungus!

I’m not trying to correct you, but I would have said “a eukaryote,” and now I’m really curious about which is right. Does anyone know if there’s a resource to look this up?

I think you're correct, in English it starts with "yoo".

I would definitely say “a euphemism,” but I don’t know if that’s actually correct or just my dialect. It could also be like history or herb, where either is acceptable.

We’re honestly closer to the platonic ideal of a fish than some of the things people call fish.

See the best begind the scenes podcast I know of.
