I see what you've done there. Avoid 'debuting' at all costs. You can only 'make a debut'.

(INJ, pen) - I think I'd prefer deb-yewing with the accent on the first syllable. It'll turn up on Five Live now you've let it out of the bag.

While we're on the subject, how do people pronounce "valeting"?

I would not say it, but if pushed, after thinking for a while: val-AY-ing or perhaps VAL-ay-ing.

Ugly.

[Flerdle] The common pronunciation I hear is 'VAL-ett-ing', at least when you're talking about car cleaning. Not heard it for being a gentleman's gentleman.

On a similar basis, I'm looking forward with relish to the challenges of gerunding "ballet", "fracas", "wii", "Playdoh" and "adieu"

(I've often thought the word "Boeing" looked rather awkward for related morphological/phonological tension reasons).

Ah, another good one to add to the list above would be "algebra".

I do have a fondness for the (not terribly prevalent, but permitted) alternative spelling of "queuing" that keeps the "e", resulting in "queueing"; a whopping 5 consecutive vowels.

I seem to recall reading a newspaper article about an RSI-like injury that had been christened "wiiitis".

[INJ] That reminds me that "buffet" is pronounced "boo-fay" except when referring to catering provision on British trains, where it's "buff-it".

[rab] Really? I beg to differ. "Buff-it" would only be used by me as a verb relating to what strong winds can do to a person.

[Rab] Not to mention the notices on the cross-channel ferries which say: 'To the buffet/Au Snack-bar'
