I note with regret the passing of British TV comedian Ronnie Barker (floruit

early 1980s). Barker was one of the all-time geniuses of **verbal** comedy.

If you can find a copy of his sketch “Pissmounouncing my worms” (a long

apologia by a guy who chronically mispronounces his words), you’ll get the

point. R.i.P.
