A guide to names and words in the news from Martha Figueroa-Clark of the 成人快手 Pronunciation Unit.

"Today's pronunciation is Polish . Our recommendation is yarr-OSS-waff katch-IN-ski (-arr as in marry; -tch as in church).

"The barred L in Jaros艂aw is pronounced like a W in English, while the 艃 in Kaczy艅ski represents a nasalised vowel in a native Polish pronunciation but this is rendered as a nasal consonant in our anglicised pronunciation. Lech Kaczy艅ski, President of Poland and Jaros艂aw Kaczy艅ski's twin brother is pronounced LEKH (-kh as in Scottish 'loch')."

Here's an example of the difference between appearance and mundane reality.

dome2.jpgWe got a couple of calls last night questioning the Ten's decision to put a reporter in a helicopter to cover the Dome story. An outrageous use of public money?! Do we sit here thinking up ways to waste your cash?

Not quite... we have a deal whereby we can use a helicopter for an average of seven hours a week. We were planning to get some shots of the Dome from the air (the best place to see it) for all 成人快手 TV and online outlets and we thought why not get a reporter to go up and see it at no extra cost?
