Angie - your posts are always such a chuckle!  I'd love to hear you talk
some day!  I believe it was George Bernard Shaw who said that English
speaking peoples are a family separated by a common language...
	My favorite idiom/pronunciation story happened while traveling in Africa
one summer with an official from the U.K. as an emissary for the U.N. Food
and Agriculture Association.  As he dropped me off at my hotel after work
one day, he said "I'll knock you up in the morning"...I'm still waiting.
