    hmmm  thanks  for that......   I have a Canadian friend  (Scromboid 
artist extrodinaire, actually)   who is driven crazy by the fact that 
Americans insist on saying  "fish" after the word Tuna"'.....

      as if it might be confused with Tuna chicken   or   Tuna  beef......


    she also points out  that we never end another  fish food with  the 
word "fish"...    like haddock  fish   or  trout fish or salmon fish,
etc....


    just one of those odd things that make you wonder where that little 
trailing word became common place in the language....


   Any way, now it bothers me.....   at least I have to think about it all 
whenever I hear  it.....
