Well, OK. But if moped comes from motor or pedal, then an inoperable moped should be a noped, yes? (& does inoperable mean that you can't even pedal the thing? Lordy!)

You said facts about science which new facts are we talking about now the facts have changed so much over the last even 100 years it should be more hypocritical dont you think !!

Yes, science does constantly refine it's position.

It seems that--more and more over the past few years--pronouncing an "s" sound as an "sh" is becoming more and more common.

To what am I referring?
I am referring to people who pronounce "strong" as shtrong, "straight" as shtraight, "string" as shtring, and "stroke" as shtroke.

Just yesterday, one of the talking heads on a local news program informed her viewers that "We will have the weather report shtraight away". Almost all of the ambulance-chasing TV ads soliciting business for attorneys who want to sue pharmaceutical companies ask, "Have you experienced any of these side effect from taking this medication? The side effects include shtroke...."

One of my friends, whose native language is not English, is a critical care nurse, and he has remarked about how many people--including MDs--cannot pronounce "stroke" correctly. Isn't it ironic that his pronunciations are almost always more correct than those of many native-born Americans?

Has anyone else noticed this trend? (Or, should it be thish trend? )
Do you have any explanation for it?

Retriever, I've noticed the "sh" thing, as well. In fact, my son and I joke about it frequently. "Do you want some shoup? Should I make shoup? It will make you very shtrong."



Is it really a droubt or is it just a sycle that the earth goes through? (I think he means, "Shycle.")
