    Science doesn't sound like "EE" nor does ancient.

    I always thought protein was pronounced pro-teen, but perhaps it's just my accent or something :)

    There are so many exceptions to this rule I think it's almost worth not remembering at all :p

    All ready for English tommorrow, I've done no preparation for paper 1 but I don't think you can really, other than read the newspaper or whatever (what skool.ie advises), but I do that anyway....and for paper 2 I know the novel and drama pretty well and think I'm covered for poems....that time limit is a bitch though!

    Let's just hope it's an easy one :) , good luck to all (though really I should be hoping ye all fail, what with only so many A's available etc),

    My last post here (the junior cert board, I'll still post elsewhere!) till the 16th.
