Maryland University is 1st to Install Bulletproof Whiteboards
The high-tech tablet — which hangs on a hook, measures 18 by 20 inches and comes in pink, blue and green — can be used as a personal shield for professors under attack, according to the company that makes it, and as a portable writing pad in quieter times.
Calling "campus violence a reality" to prepare for, a university in Maryland announced last week that it planned to spend $60,000 on the Clark Kent of teacher supplies: an innocuous-looking whiteboard that can stop bullets.
The high-tech tablet — which hangs on a hook, measures 18 by 20 inches and comes in pink, blue and green — can be used as a personal shield for professors under attack, according to the company that makes it, and as a portable writing pad in quieter times.
"It needs to be a great whiteboard and a useful tool so that it doesn't get hidden in the closet," said maker George Tunis. His company Hardwire LLC starting out making military armor, then adapted it for the classroom after the shootings last year at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where 20 children and six adults were killed.
"When Sandy Hook happened … a light bulb went off that it's really the teachers and administrators" who need protection, said Tunis, a father of two. "Those brave souls were trying to close the gap and get to the shooter and stop him, but they didn't have anything that could stop the bullets along the way."
High-profile incidents like Sandy Hook and the 2007 mass murder of 32 people at Virginia Tech have led campuses across the country to focus on safety.
They've developed assessment teams to evaluate potential threats and revamped policies to tighten security. Body armor is the latest effort, security experts said.
"There are several vendors that have this type of personalized armor," said S. Daniel Carter, a national campus safety advocate. "It's not something that is in much great use."
The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is the first university to adopt Hardwire's technology, though the company said it had sold bulletproof whiteboards, which cost $299 apiece, to about 100 schools in five states.

Is this horse the brand of mustang?
could you please tell me if this is the brand of mustang? why is it different from common mustang horse?
1 Answer
This is a different rendering of the same creature, much as the 9-lives cat is different from the Ray-0-Vac cat....they are both cats. Mustang power sinks in, but Apaloosa power just doesn't sound right.

UPDATE 1-L&T sees signs of Indian push on infrastructure
* On track to meet 15-20 pct growth in full-year orders
* Q3 net profit up 13 percent on strong order wins
* Seeing delay in payment from clients (Adds detail, executive quotes, background)
By Kaustubh Kulkarni and Aditi Shah
MUMBAI, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Indian construction and engineering group Larsen & Toubro beat forecasts for quarterly profit and it was seeing early signs of a government push on infrastructure spending which could boost future orders.
Sluggish industrial capital expenditure has squeezed orders for engineering majors such as L&T and Bharat Heavy Electricals , while big ticket energy and infrastructure projects in the country have been stalled by a host of factors.
In September, the government announced reforms aimed at attracting more foreign investment in infrastructure and cutting back on budget-busting subsidies in Asia's third-largest economy where the rate of growth is near a 10-year low.
"There are early signs of a government push on infrastructure investments," L&T chief financial officer R Shankar Raman said on Thursday.
L&T said net profit rose 13 percent rise to 11.2 billion rupees ($209 million) in the three months to December - its third quarter - on the back of strong order wins. That compared with a Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S forecast for 10.8 billion rupees.
Sales rose 10 percent to 154 billion rupees, against a forecast for 161 billion.
The company, whose order book is regarded as a bellwether for corporate confidence in the economy, said it should meet guidance for 15-20 percent order book growth in the full year to March.
L&T, whose order book stood at 1.62 trillion rupees at the end of December, said it expected to win orders worth 200-250 billion rupees in the January-March period.
It won new orders worth 195 billion rupees in its third quarter, up 14 percent year-on-year.
While there has been a delay in payment from some clients, there was no threat of default, it said. ($1 = 53.6850 rupees) (Editing by Dan Lalor)

|Return/Replacement policy:
"Horrible! eBay DELETED my feedback on a seller because the seller claimed I was "over reacting" and eBay "agreed" without ever speaking to me. I had countless images of damage done to an item. F***ing bs that they went and deleted MY opinion on the seller."
"Poor website and poor service , didn't recieved my order after 40 days , tried to track it and its not trackable don't ever buy anything from here , its a scam"
"Do not buy on ebay, often times seller list fake items or don't what the heck are they selling. If the stone on a jewelry looks red they list it as Ruby, according to some people stones setting on a gold item are genuine? The ignorance of some people, here is few tips how to list: Educate about jewelry or take it to jeweler, have it test items prior saying something that are not. What really bothers me about ebay customer service is the time they take to process the refund. This return was taking for ever once the item arrived to seller, they decided to ignore the refund let the buyers pay interest feeds to a credit card. Talking about abuse. Getting few things taking care then bye, bye ebay. They make money out of us buyers and we get a crapy services????? No thank you!!!!!!! "
"Ebay is by far the WORST place to sell your merchandise. They do not back up their sellers, and the buyers always have the upper hand. I have sold on ebay NUMEROUS times, and the seller claimed they didn't get the item, and ebay REFUNDED them and i lost out on my money and my item. DO NOT sell on ebay, they don't care about their sellers! Without sellers, you wouldn't be in business!!!"
"Consumers beware! I have little to no problems with the sellers on eBay, my issues have and would always be with eBay and their false promotions and lack of customer service!
I have had issues in the past with promos, but this time I took the time and read every detailed line in the promotion prior to listing my item under the "sell your phone or get a $100 coupon to use on eBay".
I listed my phone, it never sold, but did receive one bid within the last minute of the auction. The winning bid was from Tanzania and was never paid for. Of course, I had to wait to file the non-payment. Then had to contact eBay, as in my opinion the phone did not sell.
Throughout this ordeal over two months, I've been told several reasons or responses:
1) the item did sell, as it had a bid on it ( is a bid actually a sale?)
2) a bid is a sale (isn't a sale a transaction when you are paid for the sale)
3) so sorry, I will put the credit on the account (never happened)
4) I will have a manager call *never happened(
5) the promo had to be claimed within 10 days, so I don't qualify (although I had to wait 10 days to file the unpaid item)
6)I should relist the item under the promo (which is a direct violation of the promo rules)
Some of these responses have been worded slightly differently, have been told to me over and over again, depending on the agent you get.
Bottom line, never sold or got paid for the phone and never received a coupon.
I posted a blog on eBay, asking if anyone had received the coupon, got several complaints about not getting the coupon, but not one response about getting the promo coupon.
Unfortunately, this has happened over and over with eBay. It appears that they lure you in as a seller or buyer, but they NEVER follow through. There is always a reason, even if it doesn't apply, there's an excuse or a false - I'll call you back.
What is the recourse? For the most part, nothing! They are so big, they just don't care. If a few hundred sellers or buyers drop them, oh well.
People post negative reviews on eBay, but nothing matters to them.
What started as a great idea, helps a lot of people make a decent income when they wouldn't be able to do so with the overhead of retail space, has turned into a massive money making business for eBay. This business has become so massive that consumer reviews mean nothing to them. They will continue their business making money.
My issue is one small complaint, I've read horrific stories on lots of media sites regarding eBay. When will it stop? When will eBay listen to the complaints and make some changes? Probably never!
I wish that people would join forces, by the thousands and file a class action suit! Someone should stand up to them for their fraudulent practices.
I wish I were intelligent enough to know where to begin to start that suit. I may just start researching it and see what I can find out. I'm sure there are enough of us out there that are really tired of eBay~ maybe it's time to stand up and let our voices be heard loud and clear!"
"I think ebay is the worst online trading company in India. They cancelled my order and didn't refund the money yet. No proper feedback from their customer service. I should advice against buying anything from them"
"Be Warned. Do not buy Electronics from Ebay. Majority of the electronics are defective, they placed them on ebay because they know that they can easily get away with it. Bought a Bose P321 Series ii Silver Home Theater System from Ebay, noted defective. Seller (fastcashpawn70065) was informed right away, agreed to reimburse shipping and total upon receipt, failed to do so upon receipt, further went ahead to relist item. Ebay seems to be more concern about accrued commission from sellers than protecting buyers regardless of whether the item matches the descriptions. Efforts to personally prevent seller from further reselling the defective items by promptly notifying Ebay were not acknowledged at all. Item was resold to another buyer and my shipping cost was never refunded by the seller - fastcashpawn70065. "
"STAY AWAY! eBay will GIVE your item to the buyer AND refund their money from your account. They have banned my friends account and refuse to tell her why. No negs, neutrals or "DEFECTS".
I've been buying and selling for years and I'm just about done. Thank god they stopped their, "You must offer extended returns (read: 3 months of free, no questions asked returns) Xmas crap to keep your account Top Rated.
Their customer service sucks. They will hang up on you. The will put you on what I call the Endless Hold, where you can be on hold for 3 hours. They've lied to me. They don't even know their own rules. I quoted the website's help page and the person said, "No that's not right."
The China Scam, as I call it, is where you can buy something from China and it takes so long to get here (2 months!) that it's off of your Purchases list and you forget about it. I've had them only send AFTER I opened a case. -_-
"Ebay hates small sellers and completely bashes them. While huge Chinese sellers thrive. HATE EBAY WITH A PASSION. Customer service is non existent and is provided by dirt bags with awful accents, sitting in a rice patty. They annoy and frustrate you until you yell and hang up."
"If I could give it no stars I definitely would. They make a big fuss about ebay bucks and coupons but don't try and return the item you bought with a coupon cuz unless you feel like trying to find a number on their site (which is harder than it should be) and trying to explain your problem multiple times and being made out to be an idiot and then having the person get an attitude with you, its not worth it. I've tried returning things twice with coupons and each time the seller refunds it to my paypal account and then ebay turns right around and takes it and gives me nothing for it. I just had a customer service rep get an attitude with me for double checking that she was going to issue a refund for not one but two items in the same order that I had to return. Its outrageous. "
"eBay DOES NOT PROTECT SELLERS!!! BEWARE!
I made the mistake of agreeing to ship an iPhone to the Ukraine. I received payment just fine and the buyer had good buying history so I agreed to ship it. However, when I went to the Post Office they told me that I could not get a tracking number for items shipped to the Ukraine because Ukraine does not allow tracking for items coming from the US. Stupidly, I shipped it anyway. I have my receipt confirming that I shipped it and I also have the customs form that I filled out showing who it was being sent to.
Now the buyer is saying they never received it and has opened up a ticket to be refunded. Since I did not have a tracking number, eBay sided with the buyer and has returned the money to them. Now I am out the $250 I sodl the phone for and no longer have the phone either. I spent 3 hours on hold with eBay before finally getting to speak with someone and after waiting all that time, the customer service representative told me that I could not appeal the case because I did not have a tracking number and it is basically my word against the buyers. PayPal has been no help either.
eBay clearly provides absolutely no protection to sellers. SUCH A SCAM!!! Do not list anything with eBay unless you are prepared to give it away for free.
"It's really sad how buyers don't have any rights on ebay....Once an item is bid, we're obligated to pay for that item,if only the seller show some remorse to cancel the item upon your request....but once we as a buyer bid on an item and the price its won at is not to the buyer's liking,they cancel the item imediately without us having any say in the matter. For the past few days I've been bidding and sellers keep canceling the item because it ended to cheap.Where is our rights as a buyer,once the item is won at a price, we should be obligated to pay, and the seller should be obligated to ship the item willingly also...Unless it was mutually agreed,,,If there isn't any reserved price set on an item,whatever price the item is won at,be it cheap or not the seller SHOULD ship that item,look into policies like that please ebay!"
"I have been using Ebay for years. Today I received the worst customer service I have ever recieved from anywhere. You let your seller lie about their shipping method and when I try to get you to do something about not receiving the item you tell me I have to wait another week. It's already been 2 weeks since I ordered the item. The shipping was supposed to be 1-4 business days. So you just steal my money a hold it for 3 weeks before you'll do anything? I was on the phone for over an hour and a half with Ebay for you to tell me theres nothing you can do until the 12th. Thanks. I will never order from you again!"
"wow i cant believe ebay got such a low score i do most of my shopping there"
"Review of Selling on eBay October 27, 2014
Did a salesman once harm you in your childhood? Other than psychological disorders, I cannot understand why you are being so uncooperative to those who pay your salary. You are such a lousy business partner that many of your sellers have left and they continue to leave in hoards. The only reason some are staying is that they are as disturbed as you and need the punishment. Others are riding the wave out due to their investment and will probably end up being expelled by you for just doing a fine job selling. Your only advantage of having the most recognized site will no longer be sufficient with so few sellers. Self-destruction is evidently a natural tendency of yours, another sign of psychological imbalance.
I no longer want your free automatic re-listings because your continuous changes are devastating to my time resources. They are supposed to be utilized for selling products in a consistent manner, not making unproductive changes to minor aspects in the listings. You are only decreasing my hourly wage and I refuse to pay you any more money to do so. I will find a sane partner, pay them more, and even make more per hour myself.
Good Bye and may you die soon.
P.S. Any possible employee in the future is black-balled if E-bAy is listed on their resume. You have destroyed a great enterprise as well as vast fortunes of stock holders and probably a million of the small sellers. If everyone's time you have wasted were combined and applied to something magnificent, we could have something as impressive as world peace. You are bad for all of humanity and destructive to those closest to you.

Today at Flavorpill, we judged poets by the thickness of their beards. We wanted this Harry Potter theme/Biggie remix to be Flavorwire's official song. We were excited by the news that Spike Jonze is working with Arcade Fire on a short film. We feared the Twitter wrath of Ice T and his "hot bowl of dicks." We were reminded of why it's always smart to wear a helmet when you're biking in New York City. We hoped that the ninth time will be the charm for Elizabeth Taylor. We thought animated Sean Connery looked silly — which makes sense because he plays a retired, skateboarding veterinarian. We rocked out to the latest PS 22 cover: Beach House's "Zebra." And finally, we couldn't wait to watch the last 10 episodes of The Tudors, which launches its fourth and final season on Sunday.

Report: Iran opens national email service
Iranian state television says the country has opened its own domestically made national email service.
The Associated Press
Iranian state television says the country has opened its own domestically made national email service.
The report aired Sunday quoted Information and Communication Technology Minister Mohammad Hasan Nami as saying local experts created the service's software. The report said each Iranian will be assigned an email address.
The country's postal service will manage the email service.
Iran has discussed for years having its own domestic email service as the government occasionally has blocked access to foreign email providers like Gmail and Yahoo. The country also has blocked and made illegal virtual private networks that allow Iranians to freely use the Internet and access banned websites like those for opposition groups.
Official statistics suggest Iran, home to 75 million people, has some 32 million Internet users.

text: Murdoch set for to meet F1 chiefs in Abu Dhabi 3 November, 2012 Nov.3 (GMM) Media mogul James Murdoch is in Abu Dhabi for talks with Formula One chiefs, the Mirror newspaper reports. The report said that figures from top teams McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes are set to meet with Murdoch, the News Corporation and Sky official. The Mirror said that Murdoch's father Rupert, arguably the world's most influential media figure, has had his interest in F1 sparked by his British channel Sky's new subscription coverage of the sport. Now he is considering "a bigger slice" of F1, the report added. Interestingly, FIA president Jean Todt is also in Abu Dhabi for a rare grand prix attendance. Asked if the entire future of the sport could be on the agenda, a key F1 figure is quoted as saying: "Why not?" Subbed by AJN.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The customization of my invites and response cards took a little bit of time, but the design experts got back to me quickly and the process was fun and painless. I am very happy with my results. The paper quality was exactly what I wanted. I would suggest ordering samples before hand so you can get an idea of what paper you like best and to see what the invite with look like as well."
"I LOVED everything about these invites! They are just as beautiful in person as they are online. Wonderful paper quality. The customer service I received was AMAZING. I asked 100 questions through their chat line and email. Every time I heard back very promptly, with answers that fulfilled every question. The shipping was incredibly fast and I am already getting comments on how pretty they are from my guests! Big win for me with these!!"
"We had a fall-themed wedding at a farmers' market in Washington, DC. The wedding invitations were one of the first things we picked after finding the venue. We thought these invites fit our personalities perfectly. The card stock is a really good/sturdy thickness and the colors (we went with orange and red) were a perfect match for us. We even had our cake designed to coordinate with the invites. Our wedding guests loved them as well. I got numerous compliments - especially that they were so full of color and set the tone for our fall wedding. I was especially impressed with the extremely fast turnaround times and the ease of making design adjustments. Never once did we have any problems or concerns. Using Wedding Paper Divas was the easiest part of our entire wedding planning process!"
"We loved these cards and were very excited to order them. We ordered the brown, green, blue ones and they were absolutely perfect. Customer service was wonderful to talk to and we got our invites a week sooner than the email had said. Overall, I love the finished product and would definitely tell anyone about this site."
"My fiance and I loved the wedding invitation we ordered. We ordered in the pearl paper (which is a little thicker). I adore the design on the back of the card. The only negative was we had to pay extra for stamps because of the square shape."

St. John Lutheran Church - Ocala, FL This Sunday morning started out like any other Sunday morning, except that Bailey, Rachel, Sydney, and Audrey were with us. They were here for Florida Adventure Camp VII. We had planned to go to church and Sunday school, and then have lunch with Diane who was driving up from Tampa. The afternoon was rather loosely planned around Diane directing the decorating of FAC T-shirts, a trip to Publix for reinforcement, and making hobo dinners in the ...

The springs water was so clear and they also had a few caves that people go diving in but some are smaller than desirable, roughly e width of a basketball. As soon as ...

Happy Father's Day, Mr. Mom
When the maternity leave was up, we faced a common problem. About 80 per cent of my full-time wages would have to be spent on daycare if we both worked. But my wife's income was significantly higher than mine, and my wife was going stir-crazy after 12 months being mostly housebound. She's never been one for sitting at home and, as any parent knows, that first year means you have a squalling, wiggling, demanding anchor that keeps you from wandering. Even a trip to the mall requires planning and organization and a mule train's worth of luggage. Me -- the writer -- I like being home and indoors. It was a simple decision.
If you are in a similar situation, don't let popular myths sway you. Your child doesn't care if you are male or female, so long as you are there to provide food and comfort and protection. Everything else is just learning and, believe me guys, women don't have some secret users-manual for children. Just like us, women start off in the dark and learn as they go, on their own and from family and friends.
Mothers, however, have to cope with something we don't: expectations. Because of the myth, women are expected to know everything from diaper changing to saving for university from the moment they conceive. Men aren't expected to know anything. In fact, men, currently, are popularly held to be completely incompetents with kids. If a mother is chasing her toddler around in the supermarket, she'll get a whole lot of bad looks. If a father is being taunted by his two-year-old daughter from the top of an open staircase, everyone chuckles.
Dads get incessant advice from well-intentioned women. In that same grocery store, I rounded a corner with my son wailing and was instantly descended upon by The Helpful Woman. She advised, quite forcefully, that he was tired. I countered that he was mad that I had just taken away the butcher's knife he'd pulled off the shelf. She went away.
My son is now six. I do the school runs. I do much of the cooking. My personal failings at housework have nothing to do with my gender.
It's Doctor Dad in this house -- I tend the ill, dress the scraps, and apply the kisses as required. Until recently, I carried the essential caregiver item: the purse. Call it a knapsack, kitbag, whatever you want -- a friend of mine went so far as to buy a gas mask pouch -- it's all still the same thing: a child-maintenance kit. Tissues, Band-Aids, spare drinks, emergency rations, diapers, toys, books, spare clothes... Some women keep their makeup in it as well. I kept my media player in mine in case in needed Ozzy's screaming to drown out more localized noise.
I haven't spent 100 per cent of my time locked onto my son like some parental cruise missile, either. I've worked. I've written. I've built playhouses and swing sets, done home maintenance, and even managed squeeze in video games and the odd party.
And one morning recently, when I was out of town for a job, and my wife was getting him ready for school, my son burst into tears and declared that he wanted me. Wife asked, "Are you upset because I'm doing things different from the way Dad does?"
"No," he wailed, "I want him because I love him and miss him."
Which trumps any comment ever directed at my manliness.

Posted 31 March 2014 - 13:59
Are you touching the keyboard at all when the random characters appear?
The keys being entered seem too far apart from one another to be something sticking the keys down, but have you spilled something on your keyboard recently?
Do you have another keyboard that you can plug in to test?
How long has this been happening? Could anything have happened recently to explain it?
I dunno, i was clicking lets say "A" and sumthin like "::" appears. probably a virus
Posted 31 March 2014 - 14:04
I wouldn't jump straight to it being a virus just yet.
I would find another keyboard and plug it in, see what happens when you type with that.
EDIT: Hang on a minute! How are you typing these replies? Does this issue only happen in Facebook chat?
Actuallly, it got fixed by restart XD, but I was wondering why it happened XD
Posted 31 March 2014 - 14:07
If you are on a mobile, try to change the keyboard... you can get third party keyboard based on your phone..
if you have iPhone, you will need to take it to the phone store that they have tools to debug it.
Otherwise if you are on desktop or tablet, run virus/malware scan and see if you got infected.
Edit... damn you are fast.. lol good to see you got it fixed.

Telegram that brought US into Great War is found
It was intercepted and deciphered by Room 40, a predecessor of GCHQ, the Government's top secret listening post, in January 1917.
So many documents surrounding the affair were destroyed on the orders of Adml Sir Reginald "Blinker" Hall, the director of naval intelligence, it was assumed the original typed "decrypt" was gone for ever. But the official historian of GCHQ found it while researching an "official", that is to say secret, history of the organisation.
"It is a chance survival," said the historian, who asked not to be named. "It is thrilling to have got it."
The interception of the Zimmerman Telegram gave Britain the lever it needed to drag America into the war which had fallen into stalemate on the Western Front.
The decrypted message showed Arthur Zimmerman, the German foreign minister, instructing his representative in Mexico City to persuade the Mexicans to invade America.
In exchange, Germany would guarantee the "reconquest" of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, lost by Mexico to America 70 years earlier.

Since she'd been on the outside, she'd survived an Aether storm, she'd had a knife held to her throat, and she'd seen men murdered. This was worse.
Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland—known as The Death Shop—are slim. If the cannibals don't get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild—a savage—and her only hope of staying alive.
A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile—everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. Opposites in nearly every way, Aria and Perry must accept each other to survive. Their unlikely alliance forges a bond that will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky.
In her enthralling debut, Veronica Rossi sends readers on an unforgettable adventure set in a world brimming with harshness and beauty.

So we all know that Americans and Brits pronounce tomato differently, although, I must say, I've never heard anyone pronounce potato the way they suggest in the song. Po-TAHT-o anyone? Then there's the bazil/bayzil difference, and, of course, or-e-GAHN-o versus o-REG-an-o. What surprises many Brits in the U.S. is the myriad of other differences between British and American food pronunciations. (Please note that this is not a right/wrong discussion.)
The "O" sound, as in risotto and yogurt
Not all "O"s are the same on either side of the Pond. While we Brits tend towards ri-ZOT-oh (to rhyme with "not"), you'll usually hear ri-ZOW-toh here, and while we say YOG-urt (again, rhyming with "not"), Americans give it the "Oh" sound, resulting in YOH-gurt. On a side note, I see the U.K. is in a dilemma over the "h" in the middle of the word "yoghurt"; Ocado, Asda and Sainsbury's online shopping lists have dropped it, Tesco remains faithful while the Co-op has both versions. The times, they are a-changing.
The silent "L," as in salmon
A dig around discussion forums confirms the silent "L" is a regional thing in the U.S. as in the U.K. Some Americans ignore the "L" in foods like salmon and almond, and others give them the full wellie, saying SAL-mon and ALL-mond. The Merriam-Webster dictionary, however, has "SAM-un" as the pronunciation for salmon, as does the MacMillan dictionary. Interestingly, while MacMillan includes the "L" sound in almond, it also gives two different pronunciations of the "A" in the American pronunciation. The latest TV commercial for Hershey's Almond Joy has a subtle "L" sound in there. In short, it depends how you pronounced it back in Blighty and where you are in the U.S. as to whether there will be any surprises in store. (Personally, and I'm British, I use no "L" in either word. And I use a British long "A" in almond, like I'd say Arm, with no rhotic "R.")
Spanish and Mexican food, as in paella and tortilla
Perhaps the biggest differences in food pronunciation come when we're attempting foreign names, and British attempts can raise a wry smile from Americans. Most of us are particularly rubbish at Spanish pronunciations, which Americans have grown up with. When saying words like quesadilla, tortilla and paella, we don't want any "L" sounds; it's Keh/Kay-suh-DEE-yah, Tor-TEE-yah and Pie-AY-a or Pah-EH-yah. Apparently, we can also sound funny when saying taco, as our "A" is too flat. Instead of TACK-o, we need a longer "A." Here's the difference between the two.
French food, as in filet and croissant
We grew up pronouncing a fillet of fish or steak as FILL-ut, ignoring the French pronunciation—fil-AY (but let's not go there). Americans on the other hand, not only pronounce it the French way, but often drop an "L" in the spelling. And then we have croissant, which I often struggle to communicate in the U.S. On this occasion, Brits stick closer to the French pronunciation ("KRWAS-son") while Americans put the emphasis firmly on the last syllable and pronounce it "kreh-SONT" (unless they've taken French classes and then it's somewhere in the middle).
Italian food, from pasta to parmesan
Who'd have thought there could be so many differences here? The most obvious one Brits will encounter is in the pronunciation of pasta. While we tend to give it a completely flat "a," Americans pronounce it more like a Southern English "faster," with our long "A." Parmesan, is also given a different treatment on either side of the Pond, with Brits pronouncing a hard "S" (as in easy) and Americans giving it more of a "zh" sound. Interesting, bruschetta in the U.S. is usually pronounced bru-SHETT-a, even though most Italians give the "ch" a hard "k" sound.
There's also quite a list of odd food words that differ. My kids fall about laughing when I say I quite fancy some hummus and pitta bread. I pronounce it HOOMus, and PITT-a, while my (American) kids say HUM-us and PEE-ta. Fortunately, according to a few Arabic speakers and residents of various Middle Eastern countries, either option will get you what you want. And while Brits pronounce caramel with all the syllables clearly enunciated and a flat "A," you'll hear various truncations in the U.S. Some Americans say KAR-mel (as in "car"), while others almost pronounce every syllable while varying between "car" and "care" for the first syllable.
And of course, I say "WOOSter" sauce, which always gives rise to comment.
What are some other dishes that Americans and Brits pronounce differently?
