Subject: RE: 'Grammical' faux pas. Language Larfs.
well, just today...on a PBS talk show, a guest was talking about the history of the CIA, and referred to somone using "Morris" code..then, within 5 minutes a caller wanted to know if she had any more 'antidotes' about the old days..(or he 'could' have said 'annadotes'...but it was NOT 'anecdotes')...

and I DO get tired of certain English correspondents for Public Radio calling that Central American country "Nick-uh-RAG-you-uh"...there is simply NO excuse for that- it is not like Japanese having trouble with 'l' and 'r'...
