I'm not sure if it's a problem over on your side of the Atlantic, but over hear I think there's some kind of COO-PON vs. KYOU-PON debate. But i'm not sure if it's a regional thing or a nationwide thing.

For years, until I was about 11 or 12, I thought that "Environment" didn't have an extra silent "n" in it, instead spelling it as "enviroment."
