Wackipedia goes Anglish!

[Wilson Gray]

I'm not complaining.. It's just that I was "faked out of my jock," as
we said in high school. I thought that it was going to be the case
that someone had put together a BE version of Wikipedia, till I had
read the entire post. That is, the post was about Ang-glish and not
about Ang-lish, also known as "Ing-lish," among educated speakers.
This difference in pronunciation is obvious, once you've become aware
of it.

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
