I see no one has picked up on my correction of the misspelling: it's
Trifid, not Trifed.

My name is not Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Trifid (M20) TRIFF-id.

Man to a stranger on a flight headed for an island paradise:
"I've heard it pronounced two ways. . .is it HaWaii or is it HaVaii?

Stranger politely replies to man:
"HaVaii, of course"

Man to stranger:
"Thanks!!"

Stranger to man:
"You're Velcome"

Is that LINE-US or LEN-US?
