I always love to hear what >they have to say about the language we speak here. "Two nations divided by a common language." says it all. Different doesn't necessarily mean better or worse... Great discussion, worthy of the Balltown days. Just a few things from a Brit viewpoint. Forte is pronounced forty, there's no acute accent over the e. Now that the apostrophe has escaped from the greengrocer's window it roams free and unfettered throughout the English speaking world, I blame MTV and Oz soap operas. Bollocks is one of those useful words, verb or noun, can be used to convey disapproval or approval when attached to a canine. Has been bowdlerised to horlicks, not quite a homophone but close enough. Only used to express disapproval in that case, "made a complete horlicks of that". BM, universally recognised over here as a German car with a badge showing blue and white quadrants. Roundels are red, white and blue concentric circles. The only thing that really bugs this particular Brit (shows how irrational pedants can be) relates to a past Seahawks QB. TV commentators always referred to him as Craig, even though the name was spelt Krieg. What a struggle! Still if that what he wanted to be called... It's probably one of those traps set to catch out unwary foreigners. Anyone of you Murricans care to speculate on how Cholmondeley, Featherstonehaugh or Menzies should pronounced? The last one should be easy for anyone of Scottish extraction.

But your last sentence reminded me of a destination pronunciation experience I had once in the Boston vicinity. About 20 years ago <sigh> I was on my first business trip to Boston. I needed to go to Worchester. Not knowing how to get there I asked for directions from the hotel staff. She looked at me strangely, paused and said "you must not be from around here it's pronounced Wooster." <duh> Ok, so some days later I needed to go to Dorchester. Again not knowing how to get to Dorchester I asked the same young lady for directions. Having learned my lesson about Worchester I asked for directions to "Dooster". That was met by uncontrolled laughter. Therefore, I wouldn't even attempt how to tackle the places you mentioned.

They've given me pretty decent handling and low noise for about 10k miles now. Tirerack has good prices on them. Malcolm '88 M5 '98 328i -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Stoneman Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2005 12:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [UUC] Quiet tire choices for E36 M3 I'm preparing to replace tires on my 95 M3. I'm not looking for the highest performance tires or winter tires, but I am looking for tires that won't make me go any more deaf than my wife says that I already am. The Yoko ES100s that I have now are getting noisier as they near the wear bars. They actually roar starting at 30mph. I know that performance tires are prone to do this. But I'm ready to settle for something without optimal performance, in order to have tires that I can count on to be relatively quiet over their life. I'm using the M3 as a daily driver, putting around 20k miles on the odo annually, usually day trips of 200 to 300 miles a day many times a month. No track time or autocrossing. I also don't want to spend a fortune on Michelins. Yeah, call me cheap, but the Pilot sports I had were noisy as well. I'm seeking recommendations from anyone who has found particular tires that fit these requirements. I'm about a month or so away from making a decision. Thanks.
