HI Victor,
I'm off the subject, permit me to interject! Do you know that the word "Extra" is pronounced as written only when it stands alone. In "Extra-ordinary" the word is pronounced "Ik-STRAW-dn-eer-e" (stress on straw)by the English, Americans, etc. The sound extra here vanished. Oh boy the English language has so many nuances, but English is English. WE seem to be creating our own English in St Lucia! When will we learn.
