Not to be confused with llama (yama) me (may) in espanol...
:o)

>>>>>>>>I should off guessed :)

>>>>>>>Should of. Please!

>>>>>>I know, but I've doubled the eff to make sure it's pronounced as "of", not as "ov". Sort of visual effect... in sound.
>>>>>
>>>>>You pronounce 'off' the same as 'of'??? You've lost me on this one. If you wanted it pronounced as 'of', then why not just use 'of'?
>>>>
>>>>I think his point was that we pronounce the "f" in "of" as a "v" and he wanted an "f."

>>>That was the desired effect, yes. And I was actually looking for a place to plug the "off cross" as a Srbijan-Inglish for "of course", but couldn't find it, so I stayed with just this much.

>>I wonder if this has owt to do with old Briton language - Welsh. In ythat lang. "f" is pronounced as "v" and "ff" is pronounced as "f". Thus we have the Welsh equiv. of "Fiona" - "Ffion". It looks weird - a word beginning with double-f; I don't think English has any words that begin with a double-consenant.

>Well, there is the two 'L' Llama (he's a beast), and the name Lloyd.
