Cache

Watching, of all programs, Running Wild with Bear Grylls, I heard the word "cache" pronounced about 3 different ways.  And I wandered which was correct.  I have always pronounced it like cash, and I believe that is correct (confirmed by Google!).  But in this same program I also heard it pronounced cashay and even caysh.  What a stupid word to be so easily mispronounced.

  2. Although...as much as I find "Running Wild with" REALLY irritating, my personal jury is out on BG.

    Pro's

    Survived parachute failure from 4,000 ft.
    Single handedly reinvigorated the Scout movement as "Chief Scout" (his predecessor was Peter Duncan FFS).
    Some of his stuff not involving guests is good (eg fan parachuting over Everest).
    Seen him kill (& eat) a Rattlesnake with a homemade spear.

    Cons
    Got caught checking into a 4 star hotel in Kenya when supposed to be "in survival mode".
    "Running Wild" is a dreadful watch with cringy guests who suddenly think they are "rugged".
