I'm used to the pronunciations being Bombard-ee-ay  for the company and Kweer-ass-ee-ay for the cavalryman.

Isn't is odd what gets most discussion on this forum?  :-

Perhaps its because this forum has 2321 "odd"  members. ( there are currently 2322 members, but I am not "Odd")  

But I am sure every member would claim this.

But don't you think it's odd that you're not odd in a group of odd people?

Doesn't that make you ... odd?
