Good Engrish

For the duration of the Chinese New Year festivities, I shall take this opportunity to be an English pronunciation pedant.

The word 'abalone' is pronounced 'ae-buh-loh-nee', not 'ae-buh-lone' as many Singaporeans would pronounce it. The word 'lychee' is pronounced 'lee-chee', not 'lai-chee'.

And that's the memo.
