    Italians--especially those who come from Napoli and other places in southern Italy--frequently drop the last vowel from certain words but it's not really "proper" Italian pronunciation. They often substitute G for C and B for P, too, but it's a regional thing, sort of like a Brooklyn accent.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Thanks! I did notice the "g for c and b for p" from Tony Soprano, also.
    If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
