I wish I'd done a linguistics degree. One of the few things on Wikipedia that you can't argue with is the linguistics content.

Absolutely. A Finnish girl I know assures me it's pretty much Her-pee-a.....but with a slightly weird bending of the 'her' bit.
I can't think of how to represent that very short 'ur' sound without resorting to a diaeresis..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

That's what everyone on The Kop sings. If you don't know that then it's clear you aren't really a Liverpool fan.Originally posted by Owen20 View PostHave often have you heard The Kop signing, "ohhhhh Sami sami... Sami Sami Sami Sami Hurrpia"???!!!

There was a password system used by the Finns during the Winter War, where they used words unpronouncable by Russian, who were behind the lines dressed as Finns. I had a link to the article somewhere, but as usual the specific word for such deception fails me. Quite an interesting article, bit like sussing out a real scouser from a wool by asking them to pronounce kendoddsdadsdogsdead or dedoododontdeedo.up your bumComment

What's wrong with "Dayco"? Can't you get your tiny mind around the idea that we've been mispronouncing it for years? Is it too much for you to talk to your fancy mates about Art Deco one day and then come on and mix it with the proles like us who talk about "Dayco" even though it's spelt the same as one of your favourite inter-war design movements?Originally posted by Owen20 View PostLOL
