See? Even after a lifetime in the US, 7 years of that in *Texas*, I
still got 20%.

Can't even imagine how you'd pronounce summat with a Roman numeral in
the middle.

Or, worse, something in Welsh ;) ("FIN ahn gar." "F-F-F-Finegar?" "FIN
AHN GAR" as Colm Meaney, who's not even Welsh, tries to get Ian McNiece
to pronounce the name of their mountain, which is really a hill)
