No kidding, you really typed all those Hamzeh's all by yourself??

FYI from the Oxford English Dictionary:
pronounce, verb.
I.2. To declare aloud, proclaim, announce, make known;...
II. 5.  To give utterance to; to utter, speak, articulate (a word or
words); b. With reference to the mode of pronunciation of a letter, syllable,
word, or language....

I'm only using "pronounce" as synonym of "say" (I.2) and you're thinking
"talaffoz." (II.5)

Well, you were very helpful with the "ghash-gir" topic so what is
your problem here?  Here, I will ask this: Do you agree that
sometimes you say, "behdaad-e esfahbod" and other times you say, "behdaad
esfahbod?" (Note, I said *say*, not *write* for now.) And my next
question is going to be, "when?"

That should keep you busy for a while!
