A Bank of America commercial puts "you" in "opportYOUnity".  Interesting.
Also, I heard today somewhere on TV - Santa Clahz (~klaaz).  Yes, is there no respect by these infernal "awe-droppers".  Unfortunately m-w.com is infected.  The word "Claus" should be spoken the same as claws.  But in m-w.com "claws" ~klauz spoken clahs ~klaaz even though the phonetics show an o with a dot over it (~au in truespel) which should be ~Klauz.
I'm beginning to thing the "awe-droppers" have some kind of speech impediment to mispronounce Santa Claus.
