#N:pur-ee:12900001:000:1946 pur-ee!davy Aug 12 15:43:00 1982 A note on pronunciation and spelling. This list came out around here several semesters ago, and refers to a British instructor's rather unusual (at least for us Indiana types) pronunciation of some words.

NOTE: For clarification, the instructor's name was Anthony P. Reeves --Dave Curry, Purdue E.E.
