New Oh puleeze.
Bear in mind that I can barely understand the presenters on the NPR hourly newscast, because their enunciation is so poor and their pronunciation so tortured, and you'll realise that you're in no position to comment.

How /is/ your Hindi, Urdu, Gujurat and Punjabi coming along?

Be very thankful they're manning the phones for /us/ and not the other way around.

$US 13.33333333333/per letter-'R'. Hey, that's cheaper than buying a vowel from Vanna!
