Giuseppe Bellone Jun 20, 2010:
Yes, I think so... anyway most consonants can't be stretched in pronunciation, only vowels can! But an "n" actually can be kept as a long sound! James meant a long sound indeed !
Mr Murray (X) Jun 20, 2010:
I think that's a typo... Usually there's only three N's in 'Zeelaaannndddaaaaa.'

Beginner's luck

Playing an ugly anti-football bunker. They will soon be packing and good riddance. My high school team would have wiped them out. The old desert fox has respect for the Kiwi soldiers ("the best we had to fight with"). But soccer? no talent. They better go back to growing sheep or kiwi.
