I just can't keep from telling you that it is "proNUNciation"

Pedantically yours,

I am definitely all for Nuns, that's for sure, but what have they got to do with it?

Lucky, lucky you, Gerry. Hope you got lots of music while you were there. Here's a link about Matt Cranitch and the music of the Sliabh Luachra area.

Now that we have settled that (and where else could you get such cheap entertainment for the price of a simple question?), how far is it to Tipper Gore? Last I saw she was getting pretty broad through the beam and I think Al may have to go an additional distance to tip her gore...so to speak.

Can I inject a little note of caution here? The pronunciation of [ch] in Irish is NEVER [k], but akin to German [ch] or Spanish [j] but not as forceful. Between vowels, the use of the English sound [h] is acceptable.
