The French pronounce the word "shih-connery," While in France in the late 60s, I noticed a movie marquee for a James Bond film starring Sean Cannery. When I mentioned the spelling error to my French companion, she said it was no mistake at all because a connery in French is the English equivalent of a foul-up where foul is replaced by another word starting with the letter F. ~aj |
