Af?nistan
Don't get me started on the way to pronounce aluminum properly.
I would think if anyone thought the pronunciation of Lieutenant was a bit too French, it was the British as evidenced by the way you pronounce it.

Have a look at the link below and you are bound to get a native Afghanistan after a while.

Pashtu is sometimes pronounced Pakhto depending where the speaker comes from in Afghanistan.
Nice eye candy on this one as well....
Urdu is not a million miles away from Pashtu...and it's no surprise as the speaking countries are next to each other.
I pity Michelle Hussain's nipper and his/her learning of Russiurduinglissy!

If I can't say it correctly, does it mean I don't have to go there? Same way I don't have to go if I'm unfit, not jabbed, not current, not aclimatised - or do I just get another exemption? Just hope no-one bu**ers up my landing......

I have to back you up on that one, WC. Aluminum was so named for centuries by Brits. Having taken the methods of extraction, refinement and alloying across the pond, its name did not change. Later European physicists and chemists decided to make it uniform and fit in with the other "iums", e.g. Helium, Uranium etc.
But does it really matter? Al2 O3 is understood worldwide, for example.
Same for the BBC really. I'd rather that the standards and expectations of when I was a boy had not changed, but they have. Does it really matter?

Beags, the beeb have being doing this for years, it IMO originally started when overnight David Ginola became Daveeed Jin-ola whilst playing for Spurs. This 'seed' was initially sewn by football focus/MoTD and has obviously spread to other Beeb depts. Not that i've got anything against it, it's just a trait of the modern world!
