>>>BTW, how is "coliseum" pronounced? Not "colosseum", that's British (and Latin). Coliseum. I've asked this before, but nobody answered. Which is it:
>>>
>>>1) coal-eyes-e-um
>>>2) colly-see-um
>>>3) coll-ease-e-um
>>>4) something I couldn't imagine
>>

>>"col-uh-seeyum"

>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?)
tchah! I didn't even know there were 2 spellings. The "uh" sound in English is a catch-all and serves for most hard vowels.
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
