  While we're on the topic, shall we take a moment to clear up some pronunciation issues you American dolts seem to share a bed with?

  row=argument Rhymes with "Ow, this argument hurts my feelings."
  short-lived=short LIVE'd. Not "livv'd." Rhymes with five, not livv
  premise=an idea
  premises=more than one idea, pronounced prem-is-ezz
  premises=a location, pronounced prem-is-ess
  premises=more than one location, pronounced prem-is-eez
  aluminium=al-u-min-eeyum
  nuclear=new-clear
  primer=priMMer; primer is paint or the thing that goes boom

  what other mispronunciations...?
