Leadfinger: 'Joolery' when they really mean JEWELRY Leadfingers

Terry, I was/am under the impression that in the UK you spell it 'jewellery' while in the US we spell it jewelry, with the appropriate pronunciation.


John/Giok,how should Wednesday be pronounced? I know a woman who pronounces it 'wed ness day' and it sounds wildly contrived.

Another woman I know pronounces 'usually' "yoos you lly".

And a man who says "supposably".

When I was a kid, my family said 'colyum' and shudder I think we said 'fil um' too. I don't know when we stopped.
