<snicker>...was wondering when somebody would bring that up. <g> R -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 11:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ORCADIA] How now Scapa Flow? Remember in these "how to pronounce" discussion that we don't all pronounce "now" "how" or many other words sometimes used for examples the same way. Don't assume you know what it sounds like until you've heard it spoken. Karen In a message dated 8/27/2007 5:02:37 A.M.

To avoid any doubt in pronounciation always use the Internation Phonetic Alphabet. But beware! This is NOT a trivial task - see <http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/IPA/IPA_chart_(C)2005.pdf> or <http://tinyurl.com/yvrk34> -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney <www.stronsay.co.uk/claremont> "99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name"
