I wonder if Faux News has one of these

You may not realise it but buried away in a basement somewhere at BBC headquarters is the official BBC pronunciation unit! That's all well and good for TV presenters and news readers you say but what about me? How will I be able to impress my friends down at the Raving Queen if I don't know the correct RP of "Boadicea", "Van Gogh" or "al Qaida "?

Well you need worry no more. In conjunction with their friends at Oxford (which I am certain all members of the pronunciation team mush have attended) they have now released a book.

Your dinner parties will never be the same again!
