Now if I can just learn to say "blah sure".....

Mac,

That is another one I had wrong for years. Along this line though I have given up trying to get my brother to pronounce it "say bow" versus "sabb but"

That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

Each syllabe is pronounced.
