well, im used to saying Malaysia "Mel-a-sia", and most folk unfortunatly do that same mistake. So to some, it can be argued thatpeople have tacked on a Silent "Y" on that word.
I can understand a Sillent "H" or an "E" but a "Y"? damn, all this time, esepcialy going to major in english, I've been saying the wrong thing for years?
