That's one of the funniest posts ever. I had no idea that some languages have debates over pronunciation, but it doesn't surprise me. We had similar problems in Romania, although they were not over pronunciation, but about "which one is correct". for example: cirese (cherries - the fruits) or ciresi (cherry trees). Obviously people used ciresi for both and that determined the Academy accept both forms as correct. This is not the only example. So you are right. <em>"When several pronunciations of a word are widely used, there is really no right or wrong one."</em> LOL. That’s one of the funniest posts ever.

I also find it hilarious that they're referred to as the 'Usage Panel', haha :lol: ;) Thank you for teaching me my first Romanian word, Mihaela 8) ! Are you able (and willing! heheh) to spell out phonetically how 'ciresi' is pronounced, and where the emphasis(es?) is syllabically? <em>(I am way too hung up on 'details'</em> :lol: <em>)</em> For example, is it <strong>SEE(/sy / ky / kee / chai / chee?) - ress (/s / zz?) - ee (or i, as in "aye")</strong>, <strong>see - RESS - i</strong>, or <strong>see - ress - I(!) ?</strong> (Or something completely different, heheheh?) (Boy, I hope that was a somewhat coherently-phrased question!) (Languages, yay! :D ) I am fluent in Canadian/UK and American :lol: English, an interesting 'anglophonic' kind of French, which quickly begins to resemble 'Québec French' when I'm hanging out with francophone friends or family ('jouale', or their kind of slang-y informal speech is really unique, and so fascinating to learn about!), minimal spoken/written Spanish (I don't know what kind of qualifiers to add to this one, heh! Took a few classes in high school and did fairly well, since much of it is similar to French), and then just some words/phrases here and there in a bunch of other languages :P This is making me want to locate the neat kind of 'etymology of languages'-type pie chart I found somewhere(!) about the Internet (and promptly snagged!). (also, a hearty welcome back, Mihaela - I don't believe I have gotten around to replying to your FIRST comment :oops: - it's so new, this 'blogosphere niche' of the Internet, yadda - so much fantastic knowledge to take in (and/or 'reject'! heheheh) Very glad to meet you :D ~Ank Heheheh!
