<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi, Jim. Good question--I would go with "pee-book" or "fook."
Neither sounds
ideal!<BR><BR>Hope<BR>________________________________________<BR>From: Jim

Pronounce "pbook".<BR><BR>Wouldn't ya know the invented new word would be
unpronounceable. Strictly a print word, not a spoken word.<BR><BR>Gonna have
to change it if it's something we're going to ask patrons. "Are you looking
for that as pbook or an e-book?"<BR><BR>Unless we just start submitting notes
to them. But they still say, "What is a pbook? It says right here 'Are you
looking for a pbook?' What is a pbook?" (Reminds me of the "gub" gag in Woody
Allen's Take the Money and Run. Arguing with Allen as bank robber who's
submitted the teller a note, the teller and others are telling him, "No, it
says right here, 'I have a gub.' What is a gub?"<BR><BR>A pbook? Or is it a
silent "p", as in pneumonia? What's the rule on "p before
b"?<BR><BR>RE:<BR><BR>From: <A
