Say it. If you're American, you've just mysteriously dropped an "e" off the end of the word.

I've just seen an IBM advert for Centrino, the "moBILE" technology. What I can't believe is that they let the American voice over stay when they ported it over here. Mobil is, I believe, a long gone petrol station. How on earth do you say that, then?

MoBI? Mob? Mo? Em?

Pah.

 Anonymous: Well, where do you get off putting a faint "-r" sound after "idea"?
Exactly.
And Mobil is far from long-gone, at least in the United States. Ever heard of Esson or Exxon?
Try ExxonMobil.

 Fin: Idear is legitimate Bristolian!
