LOL. Peter, how else do you think a new word insinuates itself into the
language -- either vernacular or "Oxford's Dictionary"? A bunch of people
have to use it -- and there has to be consistent enough use that it enters
the language. Alternative pronunciations often exist side by side .... at
least in Song (think, to-may-toe, to-mah-toe).
