Some of us feel that 'virtuoso' has become an English word. Yes - we have stolen it - don't tell the Italians! No disrespect to whom, but I don't care a fig how they say anything. And I don't think we're buggering up their language; I'm sure it's getting along just fine.

But then, I pronounce the 't' at the end of 'restaurant', boor that I am, so what do I know?
