However you bloody well like and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Same as those weirdos who tell you whether you should put jam or cream on first. It makes no difference and if you are worried by things like that when the are bigger things going on in the world then shame on you. The are people living in mud huts eating their own poo in Africa just to survive, the are people killing themselves all over the middle east because a make believe person told them to. The are spurs fans still fuming over yet another semi final loss and yet the are people out there wondering how words are pronounced.

The is no way to correctly say anything the is no right or wrong to anything, the is just people going around making noises, nothing actually means anything anymore how can it when people are dying all over the world when the is so much pain and suffering.

I dont even understand how people just 50 miles south of me speak a completely different language. I mean think about it why are people in France speaking this strange thing? they open their mouth to ask for some bread in the supermarket but the sound they make is completely different to the sound I make. Then someone 100 miles to the east of them in Germany make a different sound again, this makes no sense when you think about it really.

The is no right way to say anything, honestly you should just go around making random sounds and pointing it would make just as much sense to me.

Here here, what a brilliant rant. Agree with every word.

That's all very well but can you help me with something else. Should Bowie be pronounced like rowing or rowing?

The easy way to remember that is his son's name. He named him Zowie Bowie, so his pronunciation rhymes with Zoë. The knives are pronounced that way too; and not like '(take a) bow e'.
