Slightly OT: Any of my fellow Americans alarmed at an increasing (to me) number of publications using "US" (I think the Brits use that) instead of "U.S."?

But you know, until you come to an agreement regarding koo-pon vs kYOO-pon, there can be no shalom in the home.

As a “Western Canadian”, I’ve never heard “about” pronounced any way but what sounds like shout or out, or about. I’ve lived in and/or visited all ten provinces and not once have I heard it pronounced any other way. This is a myth.

“Could you tell us again what your argument is ‘about’?”
