   Hi, Paul Quinn!   
   I read your message from 16.04.2014 08:51   
      
     PQ> Caps?  China cups.  Yes.  I used to have my own (favourite) tea   
     PQ> cup and saucer in my teenaged years.   
      
   It is interesting how it sounds in Australia? I know, in the UK they say    
   "c[ae]se" for case; expl[ei]n for explain; f[ae]ce for face.   
   In Australia we have   
   "c[a]se" for case; expl[a]in for explain; f[a]ce for face.   
      
   But how, then, you live with "cap" and cup? According to the above    
   mentioned theory both words must sound equally? ;-)   
      
   Bye, Paul!
