1. Fantastic! I would love to have this woman has my art teacher.
2. Those of us that know nothing will now assume that the boroque will include religious connotations. This is confusing because in our daily life people bandy the term about referring to all sorts of things. I've come to think of the label as signifying anything decadent. That's frustrating and inaccurate. The former is my own problem, any advice on the latter?
3. Very interesting if a little short. Thankyou...
4. Meh, you're still an idiot.
5. your "really good idea" makes about as much sense as your initial comment. Or none at all.
6. I think this woman is just lovely and thanks so much for the info! It helped with my paper!
7. How ironic that you would choose the word "unsavoury" when there is another spelling for it: "unsavory". Both are correct, yet different countries dictate different spellings just like different countries dictate different pronunciations. Idiot.
8. Awesome, thank you!
9. There is no right way to pronounce anything; I'm English and yes I say Baa-rock but if people's accents and dialects make them say it "Ba-roke" I ain't fussed; they cannot help where they're bought up can they? and I'm sure various people in differing parts of Europe also pronounced it in a different way.
10. I hate comercials!
11. Oh America why can't you pronounce basic words? Theresa's ecstasy is one of a multitude of ways Bernini evokes the ideals of Counter Ref art ... No need to give it THAT much attention
