I've heard this - but I haven't checked with every English speaking country - nor with all of the countries that have English as a secondary language. One would think that Japanese Taiwanese, or certainly Mexican would be more likely to study USAmerican English than English English. I wonder how I could check this out. (A quick check with a Ukrainian American shows he learned "zed".) > Only one country in the world that spells CICS. My brother in California pronounced it. It grated on my ears. CICS is should not become a word. (I suppose it's better than saying Customer Information Control System). If you didn't know about CICS, and saw "Customer Information Control System", offered for sale, what would you think was being offered? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
