Saturday 26 May RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
Errol Pritchard/jivadas 20 June 2011 - 7:53am / Canada

I was delighted by the pranked pranksters this morning--so delighted that I noted your address as I heard it. tee~ess~double-you~Wye. org. But that URL gets you a bulletin-board of Free Trials. Coming just after the pranksters were pranked, was this all dupe advertising? Or had some hacker pirated your site?
It took only a couple of googlings to find that, in the midst of the hoard of irrelevancies, there was Radio Netherlands, and the letters tee~ess~double-you~Eye. The rule is: "After double-you, single your 'I'." Some would say "Eye".
This is not an old man's faulty ear, nor a poet's finicky nature. The Wye imitation may very well have been created by a a clever listener!
This was my first visit to your show--but not my last.
