More from Eyjafjallajokull - The Big Picture - Boston.com

Trust the media. Rather than learn to pronounce the name of the volcano that has brought air traffic to a standstill, the US TV networks have decided to call it the E 15 volcanot. WHY? well, it begins with the letter "E" and then is followed by 15 letters. Honestly. That's why you get paid the big bucks. Practice saying it phonetically. What would happen if a world leader had a hard name.... would you call him "Bob?"
