Ohhh... what about schedule... how do you say that one... I was raised to believe that there is no shhhh is schedule.
And I say 'aitch' for 'h' too.
There is no "ass" in harass.
I use the American pronunciation "ske-duul." The other sounds too Pommy for me.

I've just watched an episode of star trek next gen and the opening lines claim... "to boldly go"... which is wrong. It should be... go boldly. Adjective placement all wrong.

Anyone who says "vunrebal" deserves to be shot in the ass.

In the original, Kirk opened with "civil-EYE-zation" instead of "civil-i-zation." He is Canadian and it showed.
Shatner's face is 3 times the size it was back in the 1960's and is more frightening than the episode with Captain Pike in the wheelchair.
