I've been told I pronounce both the same way. Like some amalgamation of the two but closer to the latter.

I'm apparently incapable of correctly pronouncing "once" and "wants."

I'll have to remember those when next I have opportunity to discuss linguistic manifestos.

Is there anything historically which could be semi-accurately described as a linguistic manifesto?

This is your opportunity to start sharing a political manifesto!

That's quite a contrast.

I guess it depends largely on how good you are at catching your own spelling errors.
I just dislike when the spellcheck tries to correct me when I'm clearly making up words. *shakes fist* Spellcheck should be able to read my mind!

Psychology is a pretty broad term in reality, so I think they differentiate them for people who want to pursue the research and for people who want to pursue practice. They can and often do intersect, but some people go into the field strictly to pursue one or another.
I don't like doing math or science, but I can read and understand case studies and research papers (including the statistics used in them). So, I'm in the Arts program because I'm more interested in how that research affects things in the field.

It's more or less in the name. The Bachelor's of Science program requires more math and science courses and focuses more on the qualitative aspect of psychology, and the Bachelor's of Arts program focuses more on communication and humanities courses.

The difference may be because I'm in a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology program as opposed to a Bachelor's of Science.

I've only been in the Bachelor's program for psychology at my school for a year, and I think the incoming class already has different graduation requirements. So, I understand how that goes. I really just don't like how my program requires me to take 3 consecutive semesters of a foreign language.

I didn't get the joke till I read the mouse-over text, but it made me laugh pretty hard once I clued myself into it.

That would be beyond my skill level anyway, so the link will just have to suffice.

I couldn't figure out how to post the picture with the mouseover text intact. That's why I linked to it separately.
