I ran upon the following whilst deleting old email and thought it might make an appropo thread:

Bush recently demonstrated progress in his use of the tongue when he pronounced "silicon" correctly. But then in the next sentence I swear that he went on to describe America as an "opportunistic society." I wonder if you heard this too, and whether he actually used the former term as he had intended. -- Dale

Whether this is true or appocryphal I couldn't say. It is however very widely repeated on the internet which means if it isn't true now it will be eventually. That's how the modern world's consensus definition of "true" works.

appropo

Ain't never seen it spelt that away. Not that it shouldn't, not that it cain't. La!

Bob: Not appocryphal, heard it w my own ears
