When I met my future bride and went up to Alberta Canada to get married, I
had a very New York way of pronouncing the word "water" something like
"waddah".  She thought it was very amusing to get me into a conversation
with her friends and relatives in which I would have to say the word.  Being
a savvy quick New Yorker, I immediately switched to just calling it H2O.  Oh
yes we did go through with the marriage and are celebrating our 40th
anniversary in June.  I am still plotting my revenge on her in the spirit of
the old Middle East saying "That he who seeks his revenge in a year's time
is acting in haste."  :-)
