New Merkin, more than Real English. Must be pronounciation...
...that leads 'em wrong; AFAICS this must be "do" to the word 'due' sounding like 'doo' in (at least many variants of) Merkin, wheras in Real English it's more like 'dyou'. Kinda like 'noo' vs 'nyew', in e.g, Noo Yahk.

New It's up there with 'ironical'

On a fairly unrelated noted - an observation rather than a whinge, I guess.

Colin Powell's been in the media a lot lately - the funny thing is that many Australian broadcasters are convinced his name is 'Colon' Powell... which in oz is very different pronunciation to Colin.

Are our broadcasters being reverential (in following his(or is it?) American pronunciation of the name) or ignorant (for not realising Colin is pronouncd Colin, fercryingoutloud...) ? I mean, they don't say 'George Dubya Bush' when speaking of the US president...they pronounce the W with it's proper three syllables.

Edit: Just remembered the whole ':' Powell thing...
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
