that's so silly. boy do i have stuff like that. tell me they're english or something, then they'll be off the hook. the english pronounce beta as "bee-ta" and vitamins are "vit-amins" and a whole bunch of other weird **** that i can't remember at the moment. i've been listening to douglas adams' hhgg audio books read by the author and boy does he pronounce stuff incorrectly.
