Interesting, if not a little pompous. I'm of the opinion that dialects vary
around the world, and it our RIGHT to pronounce a word how our local dialect
says it should be pronounced, rather than how someone says we should.

Saying we should pronounce it in a particular way is just as ridiculous as
the Americans saying colour should be spelled c-o-l-o-r. ;-)

PS: I'd still be interested in listening to the file. I've seen a few AU's
on the Internet, and need to find a player for Win95. What is the actual
name of the format, so I do a search for it?
