    I think “nose is running” is just as common as “nose is runny” for the form of that idiom, or to my ears rather more common.

    I’m going to stick my nick (sic) out and guiss (sic) that the wheelbarrow donut man has recently arrived from New Zealand, where the short e vowel is pronounced such that it sounds like a short i to North American ears (“check-in desk” sounds like “chicken disk”).

    For this North American, “many” and “mini” are homophones. Probably related to pen-pin merging which I do as well.
