A great English word is 'uvula'. By the way Saucepan, your list of American - English was hilariously suitable for any international discussion.

Despite the Professor's dislike of anything to do with France, I have to stick up for the country and say that French is the most delightful language to listen to.

(edited to add) Sorry Estelyn, I posted right at the same time as you, meaning no disrespect of course.

As we're speaking of language I thought here would be as good a place as any to ask why Tolkien, as a linguist, disliked France so much, the land of such a beautiful language.
