In my opinion, Andrew's explanation does provide an explanation why an _educated_ person would persist in mis-pronouncing the word for thirty five years or more, especially in the case of the most prominent individual to perpetrate the mispronunciation, whose supporters insist on pointing out that he is both intelligent, and highly educated at an Ivy league school. ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
