>>BTW, how is "coliseum" pronounced? Not "colosseum", that's British (and Latin). Coliseum. I've asked this before, but nobody answered. Which is it:

Can't be - that's how you pronounce "colosseum". Pronunciation for "coliseum" must be different, or it defeats the purpose of the changed spelling. There must be some logic to it, though I don't expect that logic to make sense. (now I've said it, haven't I?)
