For those interested, a summary...
How I counted:
single opinion rendered +1
multiple pronunciations
offered or commended
by single poster +1 for each
Notes:
Intent of this count is to be descriptive (as she is
spoken) rather than prescriptive (I say so, so do it
my way)
All are English (American, British, whatever)
pronunciation; offers from other languages
cheerfully ignored :-)
Poster's opinion only; offers of opinions of others,
likewise ignored
Confusing offers---ignored
Close variants combined; e.g. `gnu': guh-noo and
guh-new taken to be the same.
