Re: Proper name pronunciation

That's funny, I'd have stressed the final syllable... There's regional
variation for you.

Is that somebody's name? If it's the town of Bastia (no t) in Corsica,
then it would be BAH-stiah, the Mediterranean way...

Isn't language delightfully simple... Like the Brits say here, "you say
to-may-to, I say f... off"
