    The ones that slays me are: Colonel and Gloucester. They are just NOT pronounced the way they should be. I mean, Gloucester COMPLETELY ignores letters in the middle!

    Maybe it's some form of evolution of the word? There's obviously a reason behind it. I'm surprised you asked. I thought you knew everything about everything. ;):)

    How about worcestershire (as in the sauce)???

    I can't pronounce that word to save my life b/c it never sounds right to me....so I just call it the "W" sauce.

    I think that's it! I can't speak any foreign languages but I find it amazing how non English speakers seem to be able to pick the language up so easily, when I can only muster up a bit of 'schoolgirl french'. :o Hats off to them. :cool:
    English is apparently one of the most difficult languages to learn?

    that's true even for those of us who were born
    into an english speaking country.

    college level english taught by a gammar nazi (they refer to themselves as such)
    is so out of control it is unreal how difficult it can be

    professors like that are brilliant, dry, rigid, and pretty fuckin boring
