Making Light:  A spelling demonology ::: March 20, 2007, 03:19 PM

Oops, in my message #130 I meant to refer to Caroline's #122, not
#123.

While I'm back, I'll note that I was floored by an NPR commentator
saying that they intentionally pronounce the month "Feb-u-ary".
Harrumph.

I certainly wouldn't pronounce restaurateur with an n unless I forgot
how it was spelled.  Which I believe is the only reason anyone does.

I had heard that the given name "St. John" was pronounced sinjin,
but I never heard it until a radio presentation of Jane Eyre played
Sunday night.
