pronunciation subtlties...

the letter h is called heche.
they pronounce the h in words like 'herb'.

the letter z is called zed.

anytime there's a u following an s, (is that a s or an s? am i making an ass out of myself?! ;) it takes on a 'sh' sound...so for all of these words:

resume, assume, consume

it sounds like:
reshume, asshume, conshume

it makes me giggle.
