@Guarneri: Via boat.

@Guarneri: It is a beautiful location.

Nice Picture? Yes.
Lake Michigan Sunset? No. Late Chicago afternoon. With a lot of human clutter.
A Lake Michigan sunset picture needs to be taken somewhere between Warren Dunes and Sleeping Bear dunes, with a vast lake Michigan allowing for a sunset that rivals vast scenes of the Pacific.
That’s a Lake Michigan Sunset.

Uh, er, I think the skyline was the point. Your talking Michiana. But I’ll see your Michiana sunset and raise you the west side of Door County.

@michigander: Well, I name ’em what I name ’em.
I will confess that this title is on the banal side, but is nonetheless accurate–it was taken as the sun was setting, and that is Lake Michigan in the foreground.

Were I to visit a planetarium and I was focused and minding my p’s and q’s, at some some point I would screw up and say “planet-arium” a la that South Park episode.
I’ve internalized it for some unknown reason. I know the proper pronunciation, but “planet…arium” amuses me somehow.
I’d never heard the word “anathema” spoken and had assumed the incorrect pronunciation (think Anna thema) and used it in a work setting and dude corrected me in a more tham semi-condescinding way. Don’t get me wrong, I do not mind being corrected, but guy was a douche about it. It was okay; I already knew he was a grasping MBA type. Still, it stung to be corrected by a total tool.

@de stijl: Reminds me of the first time I used the word “hyperbole” out loud (hyper-bowl).
-
It does sting, doesn’t it?
Decades later and you remember as if it happened yesterday.
I blame the Greeks and their counter-intuitve pronunciation patterns.
