I thought a doo-vay is what you put on the bed to keep it warm. Is it because it's filled with feathers?

How do pronounce the past tense of 'LEAP' ?
I've always thought it was 'LEPT'.......But an awful lot of the talking books I've been listening to recently pronounce it 'LEEEPT.'

Which is 'correct' ?
Cheers - Phil

I believe LEPT would be the pronunciation in UK.  However, are you sure that what they are saying on you audio books is not LEAPED? 
ie He leaped over the style,and fled.   I think that might also be correct, but I'll wait for an aggressive feline to come along and show us the one true way. :D  ;)

At the risk of increasing the angle of deviance - is it not the same case as "lit" and "lighted"?
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

[in his best Captain Mainwaring voice ...] I was wondering when one of you would come up with that one!  :)

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
