    Not a new thing. The company I work for (British) has a similar policy. We generally ignore it and go anyway.

    No surprise, coming from a man who can't even pronounce 'nuclear' correctly.
    :rolleyes: But I guess I've no right to misunderestimate him, really. *giggles*

    I'm certainly not one to defend Dubya, but Jimmy Carter pronounced "nuclear" the same way, and he was a nuclear engineer before he entered politics....:)

    There are plenty of real examples of Bush's stupidity to hammer on, without getting into what may just be a regional accent issue.
