Topic: Please, become involved: February is CC awareness month

Our first assignment is to tape someone pronouncing the word:  Cholangiocarcinoma.  I did a trial run with one of my neighbors and it was so comical my camera was shaking.  I had to laugh so much.  Anyway, another neighbor will be asked tomorrow. I should be able to keep my composure.
Have fun. 
Love to all,
Marion

Too bad I never taped Teddy calling it, "Angelo Carcinoma", his own Italian Cancer!!!

Lainy - that would have been priceless.  I wish you did have that recorded.

On a side note, we have an electronic answering service for our phone number, and Google translates the messages and sends us emails.  The translations are never good, but we can usually get the gist of the message.  (plus there is a voice recording)  Rick and I both called the number over the weekend and left messages saying "cholangiocarcinoma."  The translation for mine was funny, although I can't recall it exactly.  I'll get Rick to send it to me so I can post it here, but it had something to do with jail.  Heh.

Great stuff! I wish I had a way of recording something so that I could send something in, but then again, you probably wouldn't be able to understand my accent!! It's certainly not as clear as Sean Connery's is!!

Gavin....please, do a recording. The accent only adds to the world wide participation of this task.

I would have done a recording Marion but I don't have anything to use to record such as a phone with camera, video camera etc.

But if I can get my hands on one then I will do a recording.

Gavin...Please, do your recording.  I love the idea of the accent.
