Just sounds wrong.  :D

In other news (and another GBBO pronounciation fail), in Mexican week (several years ago, I'm behind watching) they made "tackos" with "pico de gallow"!  :D

Daniel's school counselor pronounced at least 2/3 of her N's with a little bit of an ng. She kept asking if we had any questiongs. It was subtle but interesting.

The other day there was a reporter on my local public radio station who repeatedly pronounced "Europe" as "Yerp". It drove me up a wall.

I hope you have a wonderful adventure in Taiwan. Not a swashbuckling adventure, just a prawn flavored pringles adventure.
