I had a mild snigger on Saturday morning listening to the radio, when Ed Stourton was interviewing the actor Mark Rylance about men playing women and vice versa. He said what sounded to me like:

"of course that is the question mark, Rylance"

- which would have amused Lynne Truss no end if she was listening, as a sort of misplaced audio comma.

The other oddity in his interview was the way he pronounced "biopic", as "bi-opp-ic", rather than "bio-pic". I noticed as the first (mis)pronunciation was a family tradition - one of many word plays that we enjoyed. You can hear it pronounced properly here.

Does your family have silly sayings and puns - or were the Brethericks just odd?
