On Canadian Dictionaries

[dewline]

Maybe we ought to consider allowing Judy Maddren to head up a Canadian English Dictionary Project via CBC.

Who's her counterpart on the francophone side of the aisle at Radio-Canada?

Harrumph. When she realizes that there's a c in schedule, I'll take her seriously. I mean, really: shedule? Did she learn that in shool? or during a shizoid break?

Hmmm?

When and where was this?

Nothing in the article, it's just the CBC house style to pronounce schedule as shedule. It always bugs me. The one that gets Laura is that they pronounce junta with a j, like juice. Do you pronounce the p in coup?! she's been known to say to the radio.

Hmmm. I'll have enough chances to listen to Maddren in the Morning again soon enough with the day job relaunching in a week or so...
