When I heard Tony Blair say this word, I was SOOO confused...

That's funny, Griff.

Guess this is why I've never been completely sure how that word is spelled. But in Canada you get a healthy mix of British, Canadian and American. We use spellings and words from both countries. Not sure if toque is a Quebec French word or if they use it in France, but as far as I know, chesterfield is ours.

Personally, I prefer spelling words like "colour" instead of "color." It just looks better.

To me, it just seems like when you put the "U" in Color, it seems like it would be pronounced like "kuh-leeor" instead of "kuh-lor."

And flashlights do flash. They flash on and off. Doesn't a torch have to like, have a fire for it to be a torch?

Because torch goes with light, because of fire and stuff, that give off light!! See, simple!

A flashing torch would be useless .

Snoink: I pronounce it the 'american' way. So does everyone I know. It's probably more to do with Blair's accent.

I say jim-jams anyway XD. Pyjamas is better though. I always get annoyed with the pronunciation of yogurt. Makes me ANGRYYYY!! yoe-gurt....yoh-gurt. I say the 2nd one 'cause it sounds better. Mmmmm.

Did you know Shakespeare invented the word "bump" and "assassination"? Well, at least that's what my homework planner tells me.
