First of all, the speaker of this sentence was _me_ and my name
is not Peter. It's Glen. At least quote people properly.


>[davius] Pardon ;-) I would men 'je veux' no 'je vois"!

Okay, obviously you're ignorant of French so maybe you shouldn't
be talking about it. The word "veux" means "want" and is
pronounced like /vo"/ where /o"/ is pronounced as German
o-umlaut. At any rate, it is pronounced nothing like "vin" so
maybe you misunderstand what a "minimal pair" is too.
