@GeorgeWu3 Isn't Leappad spelled LeapPad properly? I just searched on Google, but couldn't find a single instance of Leappad - it's LeapPad everywhere. So if we add this, we'll end up adding stuff which is used nowhere. Unless, of course, you provide a valid case for its use.

The reason why I want to add Leappad in to Route because one of the YouTube video titles, He spells it as Leappad.

In this case, I wonder if you can make Leappad To say leapPad?
thanks.

Someone just brought this up to me. Basil, the herb used in cooking. Right now the British pronunciation is used, according to videos and Cambridge, but the American pronunciation is `[.1be.0zxl]. Can confirm this is how I've always heard it. Should we change it to conform to this?

@ultrasound1372 Basil was just added to Root as part of the latest commit. Please note that Merriam-Webster lists Eloquence's original/ British pronunciation first for some unknown reason, but the bey-sounding pronunciation is more popular in the USA, and is preferred by other US English dictionaries.

@GeorgeWu3 I'm not sure if the OneCore pronunciation for "paradis" is correct. @ultrasound1372 Could you shed more light on this?
