Well, actually, it isn't mine, it is just how I pronounce MFPA...mine is Simon (as in a deep SIGH + MON but not MOAN of course ;-) ). I am sure MFPA must be an initialism. [...] > And, 'ello, what's the story it with the 'apostrophy? Oh, that's just an English dialect....sort of borrowed it! My wife was brought up outside of London, and they all tend to drop the H from many of their words when they speak. It's quite infectious actually, well it is when you are chewing gum or having a funny turn. So 'happy' would sound as 'appee. And 'having' would sound as 'avvin, etc. Being brought up at the foot of the UK I sound completely different to 'er indoors. But some of her quirkiness has rubbed off on me, and I more often than not drop the H from hello when I say it. So now I sound as common as much as well. There. Bet you wish you hadn't asked LOL -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #13329. Or Shew Gid Owen? ¶ Auxiliary Information: • The Bat! Pro 4.2.10.1 • Windows XP Pro 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 • Scanned by avast!
