@negative12dollarbill actually, I pronounce sieved SEEVD, so it doesn't rhyme for me but LIVVD is how I say lived in short-lived

@negative12dollarbill unlike cases such as "begging the question", this is a correction my inner descriptive linguist no longer lets me make, much like "it's I". as soon as it stops sounding right to a critical percentage of the population, if it's not distinguishing important meaning I have to let it go.
