Noticing that people treat me different now that I am older.

We have a large flightless bird down here called the emu. We pronounce it eem-you but Americans invariably pronounce it ee-moo, instantly identifying themselves as tourists. My signature is a quote from a tongue in cheek statement I read recently. Not to be taken seriously.
Ah... Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I do pronounce it ee-moo and didn't realize it was incorrect. The conundrum: if I started saying eem-you, most Americans would conclude I was a moron who'd never learned how to properly pronounce a not-uncommon three letter word. :cool:
