Brian and all,

I wonder if there is an easy way to keep this list updated online? It 
might not be worth to do something like that, but here's another 
fabulous example George Allen just sent me (involving cluster resolution 
strategies) and I didn't want to pass it up (so I am sending it to the 
list):

Here's another one, which I collected when I worked at UNC and which I 
think I reported at an Acoustical Society meeting. It involves 
difficulty with s-plus-stop clusters:

Some friends had a 2-year-old son, Teddy, who idolized a 4-year-old 
neighbor, Joey Scott. The problem, for Teddy at least, was that Joey 
demanded that his name be pronounced correctly: Teddy had not yet 
mastered s-plus-stop clusters, and Joey did not accept "Cott". Teddy's 
solution: "/s::::/ Joey Cott". Perhaps equally interesting was Joey's 
acceptance of Teddy's efforts!

Thanks
Bruno
