I think "curry" is too - I would still pronounce it to rhyme with "hurry" even though I have a British accent. I think in the presence of accents it's not always sensible to look for a single "correct" pronunciation - clarity of communication is the only really important thing, and that will probably be maintained whatever you do with that vowel. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
