on pronouncing "gyros" (recycled Linguist List posting)

[A. Vine]

I've seen a remarkably similar sandwich in other countries (England, possibly
Belgium, maybe even parts of Germany) called "doner kebabs," which might account
for the distribution of the responses to the person on the Linguist list.

And, mea culpa for my cutting of the originator of the article on English on the
Web.

call it a brief shimmy with his accountant's daughter.
