Good mother! English, Spanish, French and hoards of others have a
distinction between broad and slendor. They do not do things exactly as
Irish does them, but that is why Romance languages do things like que/qui
for c and ghe/ghi for g. Why don't we just call 'em drug trafficers.

Not to forget the Slavonic languages, in which this is a very important
distinction.

And I'm sure your Canadian friends really know how to appreciate this.  ;-)
Why, I bet some Canadians think that reference to their pronunciation of
<ou> is a legal requirement in the United States.
