Janice, I would not know the answer to this question. Maybe Jack has an answer.

Janice,

>>Why does General Powell insist on mispronouncing
it as "COlon", rather than the correct (and far less absurd) "COLLin"?

I heard somewhere tht he knows the proper pronunciation, but "gave up" when he realized it would be impossible to educate the entire American population, who are not familiar with this usually British (and Canadian) name. (Like "Ian".)

Jack
