Is this whole leftenant thing still used in Britain? I knows it was in ol dubya dubya two but now a days?

Very much so. An ex-army friend of mine told me that saying 'loo-tenant' in the British armed forces is likely to get you punched. :/

As a working man in the Army, it was always easier for me jus to say "Sir!" and pretend they had no other names.

EDIT: Also, since GW copped to the faux-Latin thing, it should be Kuh-stow-deez and Ar-buh-teez. Not Kustoads and Ar-bites.

Its a real word and procounced as I first described. Neat!

I pronounce tyranid like pyramid.

And I've always pronounced it Tah-LOS, sort of like the word talon, but with a long O.
