Wanking means masturbating, dumbass. It's a tit FUCK, not a wank. Iesu,
boy, can't you even be offensive correctly?

Oh, sorry then. I did't know that. We don't learn much exceptions in English

That rule has no exceptions that I know of. It just goes by pronunciation
instead of spelling. Since "urinal" is pronounced "yurinal", it's as much "a
urinal" as it is "a yak" or "a youngster" et cetera.

Well, if so, I don't care. I know not one case of writing "urinal" in my
whole lifetime (actually not much) so far.

The traditional 'rule' in English is that if a noun begins with a
vowel, then 'an' is used as the article, instead of 'a.'

But this is not a good rule, because there are too many exceptions.

Many English-language computer 'spell checkers' use this rule, and
it causes some hilarious results. :)

Joey, if they didn't teach you the exceptions, you've missed out on half
of the English language! English has assimilated (shades of the Borg!) so
much from so many other languages, that English is a highly irregular
language compared to most other languages.

Well, they did, but not everything. We had loooong lists of irregular verbs
to learn (what I never did, because I knew most of them already). But
exceptions to certain rules were a rather unimportant topic. But since I
learned most of my English myself and not in school, by reading, playing
English computer games and so on, that wasn't so bad. But due to several
games with speech I got a rather good speaking for myself, though I was only
two times in England, which was when I was rather young (nine and ten, I
think).

Wrong, sorry.

My dictionary says:


urinal /'j(u)er(ie)n(e)l, j(u)'ra(i)- || 'j(u)r(ie)-/

So it is pronounced not to begin with an vowel, but with a consonant.
And because of that it is *a* urinal (think of a unit or a union...)

(u) an upside down omega
(ie) an i w/o dot and an upside down e below it.
(e) an upside down e
(i) an i w/o dot

HTH,

Michael

Great font!
I tried to finish it (and added a top serif to the (i):

|
| / | o _ _


| / _ __ __ __ _ __ | _ __ __ |
| / | / \ / \ |/ \ | |/ \ \ |

| / | ( ) (---' | _ | | .---) |
| / | \__/ \__ | __\ | | \__/ _|_ /

| / |__| \_/ /
|
|
| o | | | | o _ /
| _ __ __ _ __ __ _ | | _ __ __ _ __ | /
| | / \ |/ \ ' \ | __ | | | / \ |/ \ | __ /
| | ( ) | .---) | | | | ( ) | _ /
| | \__/ | \__/\ | | | | \__/ | __\ /
| |__| | | |__| \_/ /

The simplest to learn and speak....STILL SPEAK BETTER THEN THE ENGLISH ;)

There are many "English" people who cannot speak the language for two bits

^^^^^^^^^^
>(a 'posh' way perhaps?)

Oh, right, now i see that the (e) before the last l was printed in
italics.

And in the "pronunciation table" there is

__ __
| \
.---) described as "means that .---) may or may not be used."
|_.' \__/


And the "diphthong" I underlined in your example is not there in my
dictionary at all.

__ _
' \ | is described as "as in the word lie"
.---) | ^^
\__/\ |


So I think this is equivalent to


/ o | _ /
/ _ __ __ _ __ __ _ _ __ __ | /


/ | / \ |/ \ ' \ | |/ \ | | /

/ | ( ) | .---) | | | .---) | /
/ | \__/ | \__/\ | | | |_.' _|_ /
/ |__| /

in my dictionary

> | ( ) .---) | | | | | .---) | |
> | \__/ \__/ | | | | \ \__/ / _|_
> |__| \ /
>(a more common way)

except the
_
| _ __
| | / \
_ means that some speakers use | and some use (---'
__\ | \__
\_/

equivalent to my form above:

/ | o _ _ /


/ _ __ __ __ _ __ | _ __ __ | /
/ | / \ / \ |/ \ | |/ \ | | /
/ | ( ) (---' | _ | | .---) | /

/ | \__/ \__ | __\ | | |_.' _|_ /
/ |__| \_/ /


And the American spelling right of the || seems not to be present in
your "oxford" dictionary.
