>The Brits (and colonies)'re gonna have a hard time pronouncing 'medal' as 'metal.' (or 'mettle', for that matter)

Thanks Anna, saves me pointing out that there are no homophones to my ears!

a) medal - pronounced - med-al or med-ul
b) metal - promounced - met-al or met-ul
c) mettle - pronounced - mett-ul (only subtly different to b)

Elvis Presley said it: Don't meddle withthe property of the US male.
actually tamper, I know, but anything for a pun.

Has anyone else noticed the unique aroma of money? There's a fresh smell to new currency, and a sharp metallic smell of a heaping handful of coins.

Do you too sense the two scents clinging to cents and bills? (Are you sense-a-ble?)

Relying on established procedures, presidents give precedence to precedents.

Who knew the zoo had a new gnu?
