    What way?
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

            Both Kiwis and South Africans use the proper British pronunciation. (and probably Australia as well but we don't talk about them)

              I believe if I saw one in the wild I would pronounce it, "RRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!" and use up some of those extra U's from Canada.
