Longevity with a hard 'g'


The new leader of the Australian Liberal Party, Brendon Nelson, pronounces the word 'longevity' with a hard 'G'; 'G' as in 'gap' rather than 'G' as in 'gee wiz'.

What's with that?!

Who knows. (I'm trying a pre-NY resolution of being polite to the vanquished morons of this world...damn, there goes the resolution!).

A supervisor who shall remain nameless pronounces 'question' as 'kwestion' but 'questionnaire' as 'kestionairre'. No 'w'.

Beats me.

Oh no! That's worse than 'tray' instead of 'trait'
