Factoid-of-the-week

Did you know that sauna is supposed to be pronounced sow-na? The only problem with that is that unless you are from the land of saunas (sweden, denmark, the netherlands etc.) you'll sound like a hill-billy Texan (howdy y'all, wanna cum out a see ma sow-na. and then we could go out in ma hummer go aroun' shootin' at defenseless animals with vice president Dickey-boy. But,If he comes shootin' wiv us we'll be sure to have an ambulance standin' by.) So the final verdict is- stick to saw-na, unless you feel the desperate need to correct someone, in which case getting them to say sauna and then gathering people around to laugh at their "simply to to funny pronunciation" is a great idea.

C'EST MA VIE
