8. Interesting article.

I have a book, "There is no Zoo in Zoology" that discusses how the pronunciation of words changes over time. The author explained how the preferred pronunciation of the word despicable used to be with the accent on the first syllable until a silly cartoon duck started saying it with the accent on the second syllable.
