The word is XYLOPHONE......
How do you pronounce it? Well today I was talking with an "unnamed" friend who shares my office and she said that " The hold music sounds like the X-Xylophone".
and I stopped in my tracks....I said, "the what?"
"The X-xylophone" and she looked at me funny....
So I took a pole of all the interns and staff in the immediate area....yes, I was right...she was pronouncing it wrong....or like a Canadian...which is basically wrong in my book (sorry Amiee and Kristy, and AJ...geez I know alot of Canadians!)
So, my unnamed friend that I share an office with, took it as a learning experience and wondered if her whole childhood was a lie....because noone told her all this time that she was saying Xylophone wrong!
BTW- she did have a point...why is it the example for the letter X in the alphabet when you are learning....not very phonetic...SHAME!

Not all Canadian's speak another language.

KZ- you have been in Tennessee so long, I almost forgot you were Canadian! :) You mean you don't speak Country, yet? How do you get around?
