Since the sixteenth century, we have written records about gnomes, right?

So, why are scientists now pronouncing it differently, and talking as though they've found something new?
G nome this, G nome that

I dunno mate. Maybe it's like Nestlé's was always Nestlé's until a couple of years ago when it suddenly became Nest-lay. WTF!!

It must have something to do with how far ones head is up ones arse.

Garry R made mention of this sort of head tucking referring to the "Smyths"
It was Smith... But one of them got all... You know, uppity..

It's in the word uppity
Up - It.

Flanders and Swan's song 'I'm a Gnu' highlights this very well.It's bound to be on YT. EricT

I remember that without looking it up, Eric:
"How do you do?
I'm a g-nu etc"

Actually, Gnus brings to mind another point.
Why do we have to put up with Rain Deer in the snow?
How come the scientisits haven't produced any Snow Deer?

[airboatr]

Because they'd melt in the summer.
