Proper American pronunciation is: FLYING

Brits say: AVIATION (and will forever argue about the pronunciation)

I beg to differ.  Balls fly.   Flying can be "falling with style".  Flies fly.  Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.  However, to aviate is to purposefully go someplace through the atmosphere, in a heavier than-air-machine.

What do ballonists do then? Its not fair if they get to fly and we are stuck having to aviate.  It sounds like so much more work.

PS Anchovies are a particular fishy, or rather, a family of baitfish species that all taste about the same.
