    Aluminum is another one. I love the way Aussies & Brits pronounce it though. Al You mini um. =D

    We also spell it differently! Seems like a weird difference, really. I think the way Americans pronounce "aspergers" is quite funny.

    I think sesquipadelophobia is a weird word - meaning fear of long words. You couldn't even name your affliction. "I have ses - ses - AAAAAUUUUUGH!"

    I had a lisp until receiving speech therapy at 12, so yes, I agree that one's rather cruel!!
