anyone to agree with me so I'll ask ADS. I have been hearing for some time

now the word familiar pronounced Framiler or more Framilyer. Has anyone esle

heard this. The reason I bring it up is that I've just heard it again today

in two seperate speakers. Both seemed to be around 30 or so if that means

Just curious.
