Australian (& maybe NZ) pronunciation edit
Common Aussie pronounciation is "foal-adge" (I don't really know phonetics, but cutting & pasting from foal & the end of footage gives /'foʊlədʒ/ - I hope that's right.)
The majority of Aussies (do the British do this too?) also drop the first (where applicable) 'i' out of:
- medicine (I know the British do this)
- aviary
- foliage
Just curious. :) --Tyranny Sue 04:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
