I've lived in #JerseyCity so long that I feel like I just blink and suddenly some bullshit like this gets built.

What is that, you say? Well, the website says:

"Welcome to Scholars Village – A new home for inspiration on the New Jersey Waterfront. 500 design-forward residences situated at the heart of Sci-Tech Scity."

That may cause you to ask, What the fuck is "Sci-Tech Scity?!!!"

Look no further:

"'Scity' (pronounced 'city') is our portmanteau for a city infused with science and scientific creativity. SciTech Scity is a collaboration between the City of Jersey City and Liberty Science Center, New Jersey's most visited cultural institution, to bolster local education and economic growth in key STEM sectors. Located just five miles from Lower Manhattan and nine miles from Newark Liberty International Airport, SciTech Scity is in Liberty State Park...."

@ColesStreetPothole@weatherishappening.network Wouldn't that be "sigh'-tee"?

@ZenHeathen@beige.party @ColesStreetPothole@weatherishappening.network It’s especially weird as β€œSigh-tek Sitty”, pronouncing the β€œsci” in two different ways in adjacent words.

@ZenHeathen@beige.party One would think so. I'm thinking if you have to explain the pronunciation and meaning of a word you've just made up, that's not a good thing.
