Today, I am finding the mispronunciation of "asterisk" very amusing. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 01:45:02 PM
One of my colleagues pronounces it "asterix", and has used it a lot so far today because she has to fix the formatting of a document.

Overhearing a call she made, I imagined a letter covered in small but indomitable Gauls.

'Tis lovely.
