@AyseZarakol Because that would justify my interpretation. But sadly, no. Cambridge.

Was somewhat bemusedly listening to a colleague tell me about his great interest in commas, only to realise belatedly that he was saying 'commerce'. 12 years are clearly not adequate for an American to learn to understand British pronunciation.

I was interviewed for this in Covid times, when I hadn't left my house for anything. It was surreal, but I loved talking Dante with Ric and Tori. ‘Dante: Inferno to Paradise’ Review: A Divine PBS Documentary https://t.co/4MVcwRsi1v via @WSJBooks @RicBurnsFilms @Selwyn1882
