GUEST,Terry K	BS: Commonly misspelled/mispronounced words (134* d)	RE: BS: Commonly misspelled/mispronounced words	03 Jul 03
My pet peeve is Ibiza, pronounced as "eye-beetha" by the people who continue to bugger it up as a holiday resort, instead of "ee-beetha" as it should be. A somewhat more upmarket one is that the "t" in Moet (of "et Chandon" fame) should not be silent - even though everyone seems to want to say "Mow - ay". The Moet family are not French, hence the "t" is pronounced. See also Nigel's comment about the dreaded term "one pence piece" which saved me a lot of typing. cheers, Terry
