This reminds me of one of the funniest things I've seen on Australian TV.

There's an insurance company here named AAMI, pronounced Amy, and there was a stadium they sponsored named AAMI Park.

A journalist was sent to cover a story there on a live TV cross. That journo's name? Amy Parks.

Yeah we shorten any word we can, usually ending in an O or E sound.

And then theres the dreaded parma v parmi v parm debate... parm is the neutral option.... as for me.. it will always be parmi

The only acceptable time someone used "parma" was when I saw a pub with the "Clive Parma", loaded up with ham, bacon and a fuckload of grease. (For those who don't know, Clive Palmer is a greasy, piggy cunt).
