    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.
