[QUOTE=davieddy;174534]Not until you invade us to teach us the virtues of the death penalty,

Oversexed, overpaid and over here etc[/QUOTE]What has any of that to do with pronunciation? IIRC, many of the "Bill of Rights" were directly opposed to what the Crown was doing to the colonies.

Have it your way, "Mathematik kann zu Mathe verkürzt werden."

What about Pound & Rebka's seminal 1960 "Apparent Weight of Photons"?
The first measurement of gravitational red (blue) shift?

/* [I]Bait Warning [/I]*/
Of course if you take GR as axiomatic...
GR && Standard Model => 0 Mass Photons
&& Pound Rebka proves GR
QED.

It seems you Yanks have invented yet another game
to be world champions in:

Tennus.

davar55 2009-09-03 13:13

And how do YOU pronounce tennus?

Why forvo thinks I should pronpounce it in Klingon I don't get.
Or am I reading that wrong?

My own pet peeves: Feb-yoo-ary, li-berry, and joo-lery.
(If they haven't been already mentioned.)

Jewlery instead of Jewelry.
