You obviously don't know the Queen's English... maybe in Compton they all sound the same.

How is bracers pronounced across the pond, again?
If AmtrakQuebec is Canadian, to which pond are you referring?
I'm trying to think of English words where 'z' is pronounced like both 's' and 'c'.

The one the Queen is on the other side of would be a logical guess.
Historic reasons I suppose, also English isn't the only language using them. At least c/z/s are distinguishable while the -/- are middle height horizontal line.

The second z in pizza. I'm sure a non-joke answer will occur to me shortly.
Differently from brazier. Or braiser, for that matter.

I am a chemistry major, so when I hear cis and trans, I think of isomers...."cis" is on the same side, "trans" is on the opposite side, so it is quite literally a textbook definition...you could always self identify as a bigfoot but you would lose a lot of time constantly explaining yourself

Play with me.
When i hear cis, i think why would anyone side with Count Dooku.

I don`t think so. Before a very obese person got to munch on all the juicy fat, its organs would fail due to a lack of nutrients.
However, if that obese person got nutritional supplements, it could last months.

What's the appropriate amount to tip someone delivering dinner to the home? Is it a percentage like you would the waiter at the restaurant?
The pizza guy and Chinese food guy both carry debit machines where you can choose for yourself whether to give a percentage or a specific dollar amount.
Not sure what the usual expected tip is; I give a specific dollar amount regardless of how much the order comes to. It's the same effort expended no matter if I get two gourmet pizzas or two regular pizzas.

I usually just tip 15% regardless of the order amount, up to a maximum of an extra $10.
