Am I the only one imagining a shirtless Seth with a skirt on right about now? :D
No, I'm not imagining him like that, since he lost his skirt too. This is getting very.. interesting :D
Interesting question, since when pronounced separately it sound like siith but when spoken in a sentence it sounds like suyith. It is the name Seth.
there is something i do not get. i seem 2 remember seth as siith but it is written here as suyiith (or suiiath) but in a previous question a written DiiD is sounded as DuyiD. auditory misperceptions by me?
tee shirt should be accepted for any time t-shirt is an answer. Both are in the Cambridge dictionary of English - surely that's enough to be considered correct?

A T-shirt is a kind of shirt in the shape of a capital T, having short sleeves. Obviously, a (small) t-shirt should be a quite different shape.
In the English, "does not have" sounds awkward in this context -- it suggests some habitual objection to having (I do not have sugar in my coffee), which i don't think is intended. I would say "Seth has no t-shirt" or (less formally, like the half-naked Seth) "Seth hasn't got a t-shirt". What do others think? Is this a US-ROTW difference? Or an idiom that is in the process of changing?
