Which was my original point. Whats this world cup you speak of, there was no world cup, don't know what you are talking about....
BTW the American Aloo-min-um is spelt differently. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kurt at DBC Sent: Tuesday, 18 November 2003 11:36 a.m. To: Multiple recipients of list offtopic Subject: Re: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: RE: How do you spell Delphi? Also Aluminium, Tomato, Schedule. Rather than setting the rule : You must say Paree if you say Awe-a-ma-roo, it is probably easier to settle on a pronunciation that is most suited to all participants on a conversation-by-conversation basis. Thus the 'Nooz' settles on the pronunciation that have the least number of officious^H^H^H^Hial complaints, and the most vocal supporters. And at least email pronunciation of Maori (Oamaru = Oamaru) is easier than email spelling of Welsh names ;) (and notice in the RWC the number of Joneses in the Welsh rugby team? Its like the country en masse opted out of keeping up with the Joneses, deciding if you can't beat them: join them).
