Getting closer, but still no pronunciation guide!
« on: May 08, 2006, 04:58:51 pm »
While perusing different English dialects on Wikipedia (this is what I do all day, everyday) I came across this.

Jough - a drink

Should anyone be interested in this? Probably not.

NOT AGAIN: How odd! While randomly learning about the English language on Wikipedia for the second time today, I found the occurence of the word 'Jough' once more. Just perhaps... this is how our illustrious admin's name is pronounced. Really though, Johkh?

Jough actually means "ale" in Manx Gaelic.
