At the same time as the rest of the politically correct revolution in the 80s.

Nestle (with the acute above the e) has always been that. It was lack of knowledge or ignorance which meant it was never pronounced correctly

Rubella has also always been rubella. I have no idea who thought calling it German Measles would make it less painful.

Rubella was also known as German measles because the disease was first described by German doctors in the 18th century.

"Conjoined" strikes me as a rather more sensible term. Or maybe that's just me ...

Conjoined twins came to mass public attention when P T Barnum "exhibited" a pair of them as part of his travelling circus The Greatest Show On Earth.

Guess what nationality they were... ;-)

albaqwerty, as there are no accents in English it is correctly pronounced nessals in English, more importantly though it annoys foriegners!

How on earth could 'Nestlé' be pronounced 'nessals'? Where does the 's' come from...?
