Impressive. But language is an evolving medium. I suppose if we get everyone saying "Figi", they'll make it an alternative spelling...
We definitely need another post on this . I can't see that ever happening with Fiji because it is the name of a place, however, it might happen to flourecent, or definatley. ; Especially with Pisces advertising flourescent lights in the newspaper.
