Haha, reminds me of DS in K when he walked up to the teacher's easel and started reading the instructions to the class...the class that was still working on "B = Buh"

haha again!! Me, too...my word was/is Aristotle (I prounounced it during an oral report as ahWRISTtoetoe) I still have to consciously think how to pronounce it correctly. My teacher didn't correct me, I found out later on my own how to pronounce it and I STILL feel embarrassed that I performed that report mispronouncing that name over and over...argh! Nan
