          How would you pronounce the word "Proved"?

              I like the Scottish verdict 'Not Proven'

              as in 'We know you are guilty as hell you swine, just give five minutes to find some better evidence'

                I heard a Yank say "darta" the day, when he really meant "data".

                  I thought they normally said "datter"

                  How about eether versus eyether? The former used to be considered slightly non-U, until in the 60s Princess Anne outraged everyone in Tunbridge Wells etc by pronouncing it thus on TV.
