Getting lint/nit picky, the announcer said "Ce Eme Be Efe." English-
speakers always got to add the "ee" sound and make the pure "e"
sound of SS (or any other language) into a diphthong.

"e" becomes "ay." Wrong. Closer to "eh," as in "deck," in that
the "eh" is almost a pure vowel.

Language Class dismissed for today.

Pop quiz tomorrow at 8:00!
