   And I always thought it was pronounced ray-she-oh. :-)   
      
   Another one that gets me is the way some people pronounce the word   
   "pronunciation", like pro-nounc-iation.  Even some TV news presenters   
   say it that way.   
      
   And don't get me started on people who put "actually" at both ends of a   
   sentence! (-:
