   Hey, we all make mistakes. I pronounced "modem" with a long "o" until   
   I actually heard someone pronounce it.   
      
   "To err is human. To really foul things up, you need a computer."   
      
   OTOH, a certain Microsoft telephone assistor who /insisted/ on   
   pronouncing "cache" as "cash-ay" even when I pointed out that it was   
   French with the "e" silent and that "cachet" was French with the "t"   
   silent but pronounced "cash-ay" was just plain iggorant.
