Why does this almost five-year-old thread keep getting exhumed? Is this such a pressing question?

It might be because things are slow here at DCUM and aside from creating new, asinine threads which may or may not take off - its always a sure thing to open up an oldie. Because people see its has lots of responses and check out what its all about, and so people like you can comment that its old.

Unacceptable reasons. It's got to be drunkenness.

I bet you're more worried to be thought stupid than pretentious.

My boss used this in an email last week. I found it annoying. But she is also a bit pretentious

I'm not Italian, nor did I ever learn Italian. It's always been bravo to me, nothing else.

My husband speaks Italian. He says "brava" for a female performer and "bravi" for multiple performers. Who cares?

It's no more pretentious than cheering in Italian already is.
