The pronunciation of "colonel" isn't a Brit/American english thing, is it? damookster Send a noteboard - 09/11/2017 07:59:27 PM

I thought it came from the old Italian word for column which was spelled with an "l" while the French/Spanish word was spelled with an "r."

Either way, one mocks the British whenever one can. It's the right thing to do.
