Ant writes "This is where you can find photos of those unusual items which somehow missed our keen attention in the 70s and 80s. Be it a specialty product, electronic novelty or an utter boondoggle from a major electronics outfit of the day, we'll dig 'em up and talk about 'em."

    No. I used to get confused about lots of words when I was a kid too. I really chewed up the word "annihilate", for example. I read too much and talked too little. And look at me now, still a full-on geek.

    It's easy to do. I used to pronounce macabre as Mack-a-brr not mah-cah-br. My wife just this weekend asked what the hell Cham-oh-lee was when holding a pack of Chamomile tea. (she uses chamomile shampoo and has no problem saying it in that context, yet as a foodstuff, she was flu-mox-eed).
