Spelling issues.

Billy Connolly has a great little routine with that pronunciation/spelling issue . He talks about Kircaldy or as visitors know it as whats that £$% smell?When you got off the train in Kircaldy that's what everyone said.

Kircaldy was the centre for the production of linoleum but it fell out of favour as people would go into shops and ask for a lole of rinoleum , a rile of baloneum , a role of pertoleum oh $£%^ it give us a Carpet! :)
