I once had an Englishman ask me, “Why do you Yanks say ‘vítamin’ instead of ‘vitamin’?” I responded, “Why do you Brits say, “vítal’ instead of ‘vital’?” He turned red and shut up. ;-)

Of course his advisers explained that vitamins by themselves would not replace food. Still I guess he was thinking outside the box.
