	nona the brit  #392682  Mon, 16 Jul 07 12:15 AM You mean 'pronounce' not spell. 'Spelling' - the sequence of letters used to write a word. So, for Europe, the spelling is E, U, R, O, P, E. Pronounciation - how you say a word. Listen to this guide: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=Europe&submit=Submit    nona the brit

	MrPedantic  #392688  Mon, 16 Jul 07 12:23 AM I think Encarta and Oxford use different systems of pronunciation: the j in Oxford means the y sound in Encarta. There are some slight differences in the pronunciation of the vowel sound in the first syllable: some people rhyme it with "core", and some with "cure".
