8.8.C. ENGLISH
MORE PRONOUNCEMENTS.
(From the Guardian's Special Corres-
pondent—By Air Mail)
LONDON, April 27,
Approval of the 8.8.C.'s new word "televiewer" to describe a watcher of television, has been expressed by the experts of the Advisory Committee on Spoken English. They hope, however, that in time the prefix "tele"
will be dropped and it will be left simply as "viewer." \ A new list of pronunciations recommended for announcers has alwo been prepared by the committee,-'in' it "landscape" becomes "landskip"; "quinine" is "kwineen"; "heinous" is "haynus"; and "civilisation" is pro* nounced with a ' "lize." "Londonj derry," when it refers to the Mar- | guess, is "Londondry," and when to | the place, "Lundonderry."
