True, but the driver is obviously too anal (and uppity?) about his grammar and spelling to even consider mispronouncing it wrong. Heaven forbid!

On a tangential note, I've heard that Stephen Hawking deliberately misspells some words when in conversation in order for his voice emulator to pronounce them the way he wants it to.
