aaaah!

Channel 4 are showing The Daily Show at 8:30pm tonight! Woohoo! (that's a good aaah! in the subject line)

Are you sure? Sadly, according to channel4.com, it looks like Channel 4 is showing "Risking it all revisited" from 8.00pm to 9.00pm, and the Freeview EPG here in London agrees with that. :( "The Daily Show" *is* on More 4 at 8.30pm though -- best thing on the channel IMHO.

Special occasion or regular feature?
You can snarf it every day on TorrentSpy, you realize.

More 4, which is a new digital-only channel that started a couple of weeks ago here in the UK (and Ireland, presumably), shows the previous night's The Daily Show each weeknight at 8.30pm (I think). It's great to have it here, even if it's sometimes a bit challenging to understand all the US references!

"aaaah" is a scream or gripe or hurt sound, with a nasal a as in "bad" or "past".

"ahhhh" is a sound of pleasure with a soft a as in "bod" or "pasta".

So you meant the second one.

(US-ian pronunciations strictly, but hopefully trans-european.)

Thanks for explaining how I said what I said and what it meant. I'll consult you next time I need to transcribe an exclamation.

Why on earth did you post this? Were you drunk?

Because you said "that's a good aaaah", and I assumed you meant "ahhh" because there's no such thing as a good "aaaah" unless you're being silly, and because I've seen a zillion people actually get this wrong, but I suppose you were being silly.

against my better judgement, I am continuing to probe:

What makes you think that your assumption in any way matches what I wrote? Have I previously shown myself to be incapable of expressing myself clearly, or perhaps inclined towards mistranscription of my exclamations? To clarify, and now we are deep in the absurd, I did in fact say "aaaah", because I was surprised as well as delighted. I am bemused at your claim that there's no such thing as a good "aaaah". Really now, you're a smart guy; you should know better than to make such a sweeping statement.

That's what I meant by "silly".
