That’s what Hui Jun challenged me to pronounce, and which I succeeded in doing today. Earned me a cup of Second Cup’s Earl Grey tea (not bad eh?). It’s basically Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious spelt (truly) backwards. The West End musical soundtrack for Mary Poppins is addictive. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. So many lovely tracks…and my favourite song is “Practically Perfect“. There’s something delicious about how audacious Mary Poppins is in declaring that she’s practically perfect. (Try saying ‘deliciously audacious’. Doesn’t it roll off your tongue marvelously?) Take this excerpt exempli gratia (tt’s what e.g. stands for which I learned today as well: “for the sake of an example”):
I’m practically perfect in every way
Each virtue virtually knows no bounds
Each trait is great and patently sound
I’m practically perfect from head to toe
If I had a fault it would never dare to show
I’m so practically perfect in every way
The phrase ‘hao lian’ comes to mind. But that’s exactly why I like the song so much. Don’t you wish you could say those words without so much as a blink or blush? :P

I’m with you. Saw the Mary Poppins’ musical when I went to London last summer. I was walking in the clouds after that. So PERFECT. Aiks, wish I can see it again… and again.

I must admit, you took less time than I antipated you would. But I am taking partial credit for your feat; I provided you a very good learning aid after all. :)
There is still one more challenge you issued to yourself that you haven’t met yet. At least, if you can do it already you haven’t demonstrated. :) I’m waiting… *grin*
*thinks* You know, I’m tempted to challenge you to do it forwards and backwards. With the forward version set to lyrics you shouldn’t have too much of a problem learning it. And since you can already say Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus, seems fitting that you can spell it too, right?
