No, it wasn't me. I've never really had much to say about pronunciation (except that of the word pronunciation) but maybe I should pick up that line of pedantry as well.

I was just looking at the BBC News site and saw this:

"A DNA trail has helped investigators trace the largest recent shipment of illegal ivory to elephants in Zambia."

Was it just me that misread that the first time?

Nope. I had to read it about three times before I worked out what it was on about.
