A new tongue-twister! I was thinking about the stupidity of the English
language in general, and the difference in the way we and the Brits say "schedule" occurred to me, and I really got tongue-tied even THINKING "We say 'skedjul' and the British say 'shedjul' "
So I was thinking:
The British say 'Schedule a sherry session for Sunday' and all I know is, I sure can't say it!
Can you make it even tougher?
