i have always wondered if canadians pronounce clandestine clan-DES-tine,
rhyming with man-BEST-wine, instead of the more usual way paul i has

 she perverts the pronunciation of clandestine, the preferred pronunciation
of
which has a silent e on the end and the accent on the middle syllable.
Pronunciation: klan-'des-t&n

Rhine wine.
