    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        You wouldn't call your Ford Taurus a Trus. So don't call your restaurant a restraunt.

        Education is extremely important.

          We all have our favorites. I have a friend who claims I can make the word "ruined" into 3 syllables - Ru-in-duh as opposed to the more accepted roond.

            Really? I always pronounced it ROO-ind.

                    In American movies and TV my ear always hears the word vehicle pronounced Vee-hickel.

                    Around these parts the “h” is devocalised or silent so the word sounds as Vee-ickle.

                        I think only a certain type of sheriff deputy pronounces it that way. I never have done so.

                          It's de rigueur in Appalachia. Seriously, that's the standard.
