Hi Louise, it was series 4, if it wasn't in the last episode, it was in the one before.

LOL - I see.. I didn't want to offend you or anything but figured it was strange.

Wondered if maybe it was the accent or something!

Mandy Pantinkin is this a male or female??
Surely there must be someone in the UK maybe the media needs too be contacted asking if there is anyone out there who would be willing to support the group and make the public more aware of what KC is and how it affects everyone??

Delyth, Mandy Pantinkin, believe it or not is a man. He was one of the stars in Chicago Hope, if you ever saw that.

He tried to encourage people to sign up to donate their corneas in the U.S.

I still haven't seen this episode! I'd love to see it, but I was thinking yesterday, is it just me being weird, or does Horracio look as if he has KC? Hes always got his glasses on, his eyes are always half shut in the light etc etc.....maybe its just me, but I just noticed the other day!

Can I ask while we are loosely on the subject of pronunciation. How do we pronounce “sclerals.â€Â

Mark

if it helps, here is the entry from the OED

sclera |ˈskli(ə)rə|
noun Anatomy
the white outer layer of the eyeball. At the front of the eye it is continuous with the cornea.
