How is that word pronounced? Is it /kju/? I've heard /kjui/ before, but I'm not sure if that's the word they were using. At any rate, I definitely dislike the spelling of that word. Rural is the ugliest word, especially in certain dialects, where it's something like /rr=r@l/ or even worse /r=rl=/. It doesn't even *sound* like a word. -- Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon A nation without a language is a nation without a heart - Welsh proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
