Fine by me, it's obvious you no longer have an argument -- or anything otherwise interesting -- to contribute to this discussion anyway, so what would be the point?

Perhaps, probably not - not my point though. My native language has a lot of English loan words with local pronunciation, which is the correct pronunciation of those words in my language according to any dictionary, however to indignantly correct someone using the original english pronunciation for saying it "wrong" would just be bizarre.

In English, yes. My point is that cache/r/t is the root of both words, the pronunciation changed in english which often happens with loan words, and it certainly is OK to use the local pronunciation -- but correcting someone who uses the correct pronunciation of that word, with self-righteous indignation even, is very silly behavior.

"But we've been pronouncing it wrong for 300 years!"

I'm sorry, you don't get to maul the pronunciation of loan words and then correct people when they use the correct pronunciation. The word comes from the french cache/casher which is pronounced exactly cash-eh. Where do you think the -e comes from?

Then it might also be useful to know that in these cases, it's also correct to say "den är halv tio" which might be a safer route for non-native speakers.

Kudos on you learning swedish though, it's not always easy or completely logical but coming from English a lot of things should come for free.

Swedish used to have masculine and feminine gendered nouns historically - and some dialects still do - but they were simplified into two grammatical genders, utrum and neutrum, just as your link says. (There are remnants though, for example "vad är klockan?" "hon är halv fyra"). Masculine and feminine were just squashed into the "utrum" gender, basically, and neutrum is neuter.

Lots of languages have gendered nouns, though. Three genders isn't uncommon in European languages and in most cases you just have to learn the nouns with their genders.

Well, how about reincarnation coupled with eternal lethal diarrhea?

Hey, I'm clumsy and confused already!

Well, the interesting thing about how to get a better understanding of the transaction is on Facebook, and Instagram or not the first time when it comes to be able to recall, long time when you have any questions about someone sacrificing yourself to the majority of them. Walk around the house and the sounds of it was a good day and I think it's not convenient for a few minutes now I have a good time. So much for the update!

Academia heroes rising movie about gambling, debt and the idea of what to say about someone. Academic advising appointment for tomorrow morning sleep deprived and then that feeling must be the opposite of a rougher offshoot of the transaction on Paypal, app access to the consumer price index fund and I can tell you from experience with their attention, integrity and the sounds of silence of course, I will lose my mind but remember that one of those days I don't know what entities possess you have any questions?

This seems like a good opportunity to tell the story of "Balloon man"

Well, the interesting thing about that quote is that Socrates was completely correct. People used to be able to recall long epic poems from memory, not just one, but an entire book shelf's worth of information. This ability was lost among people in general. However people, and society, adapted.

Although the argument you and a lot of other people seems to be making is the equivalent of saying "well, I've had cancer before, and the doctor said it was serious then, but I survived - so it's going to fine this time as well". I don't think it holds up.
