ROFL - Hey, that's a laugh - an American trying to teach pronunciation to a BRIT!!!! She must be forgetting where the English language came from....... sigh Right - read this next sentence, Shellypoos - I am going to go to the fair. How did you pronounce the letters 'to' ? Now this one - My big toe hurts. See? Phonetically speaking, my pot-ay-toe is correct with the 'e' on the end, whereas your pot-ay-tooooo is screwed up. Innit?!? resigned sigh (",)
