danposs86 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 all my life i've argued and made a point of correcting people the difference between Aaron (pronounced Airon, like me) and Aaron (pronounced Aron) I can see why that would be difficult. Back on topic, looks like a fair bit of work, at least you know it will be all sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
