For over 11 years, 18F has been proudly serving you to make government technology work better. We are non-partisan civil servants. 18F has worked on hundreds of projects, all designed to make government technology not just efficient but effective, and to save money for American taxpayers.
However, all employees at 18F – a group that the Trump Administration GSA Technology Transformation Services Director called “the gold standard” of civic tech – were terminated today at midnight ET.
Just being pedantic here… skosh 🤷♂️
Well… that’s a hole I didn’t expect to go down.
This might be a regionalism. I’ve never heard anyone say skosh (rhyming with gauche) as opposed to scooch (rhyming with…mooch).
But we pronounce a lot of things “wrong” in New Orleans. There usually turns out to be an interesting reason for it and sometimes, it’s just a gradual corruption of the original pronunciation.
