I fired up my tablet, found a link, and clicked. There was no pronunciation guide, only a voice. Fine, so I heard how it sounds (stress the second syllable, which uses a long a), but I wanted to read how it sounds. I also like to read paper maps. Is it too much to ask to have plenty of maps and dictionaries in book form (or at least pamphlet form) that I can hang on to for security and not feel that my world will disappear if the power goes out? When did my carefully cultivated survival skills become antiquated, and where do I register a complaint? When will it be my turn to be Queen of the Universe? Okay, scratch that last one. The rant is over. Luck and wisdom! | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
