Several years ago my husband taught a class in statistics at a local college and he used to joke about spending the first class teaching his students how to pronounce the word. It's not stastistics or satistics or even sadistics although, if you've ever struggled through the math in a statistics class that last one may seem appropriate.
And speaking of statistics, I heard a great line this morning from the movie "Anchorman". "60% of the time it works every time." And that reminded me of one of my all-time favorite lines. I actually heard someone say this in a speech. "Fifty percent of all statistics are made up on the spot." I love it..
