When we were in high school, a friend's parents were having a "discussion" over how to pronounce Manilla, Iowa and Manila in the Philippines. The mother maintained that they were pronounced the same, while the father strongly held that they were pronounced differently. After considerable back-and-forth, he fervently explained that the one was pronounced "Mah-nill-ah" (to rhyme with vanilla) and the other was pronounced "Mah-nill-ah" (also to rhyme with vanilla), at which point he stormed out, leaving us all to wonder just exactly what the uproar had been about.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
