A good way to catch a Kentuckian: ask them (viva voce, not over the
Net where they have time to think about it) "Is the capital of
Kentucky pronounced [luIsvIl] or [lu@...=]?" They will fall all
over themselves to assure you it's the latter. Then you say
patronizingly, "No, the capital is pronounced [fr&nkf@...]."

it? Is the bust of Sir Philip Crampton lyrical, www.ccil.org/~cowan
epical or dramatic? If a man hacking in fury www.reutershealth.com

is that image a work of art? If not, why not? --Stephen Dedalus
